21 Mar METAR Data Outage
1218 ViewsThe flow of METAR data (airport weather observations) from the FAA to the NWS suffered an outage today. Typically, the missed data is transmitted once the communication lines are re-established. Unfortunately, that did not happen today and there is a data hole that I likely have no means to manually repair. There's about 13,000 missing observations between approximately 2 and 6 PM CDT today.
