Date rollover at PWS Weather

When I got my new Ecowitt GW1003 weather station a few weeks ago I decided to sign up to PWS Weather. All very straight forward, but there is a problem that I can't figure out: on the dashboard, the data are always displayed with the correct date/time. However, the Daily Summary and Observation History "vanish" at 17:00 PDT every day (which is midnight UTC), because these tables have rolled over to the next day. I have the option to select the "previous" day - which is still my current day - and the two tables show again as expected. I have contacted the PWS Weather guys, but they seem to be busy otherwise. Has anybody the same problem or is it just me?

Got a reply from AerisWeather support today:
This is a known issue when the station is on a different day than UTC. We are working on a fix and hoping to have it corrected in our next release.
While it is nice to get a reply (take note WU!), how difficult can it be to prevent this UTC midnight rollover since they already display the local time in the dashboard header. I mean, this is a bug on a web page that affects everybody not on GMT, why wait for the "next release"? :groan:
