Weather Underground regional radar not active

Post by pkiener »

I am currently using Cumulus MX release 3.11.4 (build 3133) dated 25 May 2021. And I'm using Saratoga scripts, last updated 3 June 2021. My website: http://weather.paulkiener.com.

I have the Weather Underground local radar set to load from the flyout menu: Radar -> Local Radar. The resulting image is dated 5/13/2021 and there is a red-lettered message at the top-left corner of the image which reads: "Radar down for maintenance". Looking on the Weather Underground main site (https://www.wunderground.com/), I notice that there are newer radar maps, based on the state level. I am unable to locate the previous radar maps from within the main site; they seem to have been discontinued.

I have tried to search the forum for any suggestion as how to update the radar maps, but have been unable to find any help. If anyone could provide me with information regarding updating the Weather Underground radar maps, I would greatly appreciate your help. Thank you in advance.

Your page at https://www.paulkiener.com/Saratoga/wxradar.php is using the old WU-radar-inc.php script (which was really deprecated back in September, 2020 as WU stopped generating many of the maps it used).

You can resurrect the radar displays by changing all the 'type=N0R' to 'type=NCR' or 'type='N0Q' entries in the script. That may keep it partially alive for now.

I'm looking at reissuing the script with a vastly pruned-back capability based on what WU is generating for maps now.

Thank you, again, for your quick response. I changed all instances of 'type=N0R' to 'type=NCR', as you suggested, and my page now displays the current radar map.

Thank you very much for all you help!!
