realtime.txt forecast number not changing

Topics about the Beta trials up to Build 3043, the last build by Cumulus's founder Steve Loft. It was by this time way out of Beta but Steve wanted to keep it that way until he made a decision on his and Cumulus's future.

Do you have the correct units selected for your forecast pressure extremes?

The text forecast on your web site currently corresponds to forecast 21, but your realtime.txt does still have 26 in it, so it could be a bug with the forecast number - I'll check.

What web tag are you using for the forecast on this page - http://weather.cerchia.com/index.htm ?

What do you have 'Use Cumulus forecast' and 'Update forecast hourly' set to?

Yes, I double checked after I read about a missing decimal point, but I didn't have one in there.
I just noticed the other day when I brought up the console page http://weather.cerchia.com/wconsole.html
on my phone, hadn't used that one in a long time and noticed the "Stormy much precipitation" forecast.
