CoD Weather Data

As we transition to the RRFS model, please be patient. This model runs hourly, so there is a possibility for some unforeseen issues to come up, and invariably they will. Give us a week, and we will provide updates as we know more. Thank you! -Gilbert

Our text sever is back up. Some states and sections don't have banners on them yet; the moment they get a new product, the banners will be restored. However, all of the products are still there. In any case, we apologize for any inconvenience. -Gilbert

We are having an issue with our text server. We are working on it to bring it back into service. -Gilbert

We've got tropical fever! Our Tropical text page now has products from around the world. Check them out at: weather.cod.edu/text/ On the left menu bar, click on "Tropical Weather (NHC)". We'll get that "NHC" part taken off, because it's much more than just NHC! -Gilbert

Oh, one more addition to our text pages. As we work with our Aviation department here at the College of DuPage, TAF's were added to the products by state menu. Enjoy, pilots, and pilots-to-be! -Gilbert

Oh, and the Canadian text page has been completely rewritten and fixed: kamala.cod.edu/Canada/ -Gilbert

On the text product pages, over the years, a number of products have gone away, but in some cases, new ones have replaced them, or they changed. These have now been accounted for, so if there is a text product you haven't seen, see if it is there now. -Gilbert

"It's the little things"....the low-hanging fruit is all fixed; now onto the small stuff. If you see something broken, please let us know. Thank you for using our website, weather.cod.edu ! Have a great weekend, everyone. -Gilbert

In our list of printable mapsets on our surface page, the western Canada sector has never worked....until now. It's finally fixed! Thanks for your patience. Also, our SPC text page now has time/date stamps for all single products.The NCEP admin page should now work, too-Gilbert

Oh, and do you want to go storm chasing with us, with some of the best technology (I make that happen!) and chase forecasters? 2027 trip dates have been announced. Apply to get on board, first come, first serve starting November 21, 2026: weather.cod.edu/chasing/inde… -Gilbert

We have now added the day 4 and 5 Excessive Rainfall Outlook (ERO) products to our experimental text products page, under the "Hydrologic" tab. Enjoy! -Gilbert

As of 11 PM CT, or 4Z/GMT, we are getting twice as many hits on our website as we have ever had in any storm since our website has been up. I made another tweak to help things. I know our website is a bit slow, please be patient! -Gilbert

I made a few more performance tweaks, and this is about as fast as our website can go now. Having said that, everything is loading quickly on my end. As always, if you see issues, please let us know. -Gilbert

Floater switch to handle Isaias, and one for southern California with tropical storm watches for San Diego! -Gilbert

As this is our first major event with our new system, I made another performance tweak to handle our high volume of traffic right now. Our website performance should have just gotten better at 15:35Z, or 9:35 AM CT. -Gilbert

We are aware that a handful of you had an issue accessing our satellite images early this morning. A backend issue needs to be solved, but a temporary workaround is now in place so I don't think that will happen again. Apologies for the inconvenience. -Gilbert

Today, we fixed: / 1. Isentropic printout maps on our isentropic analysis page 2. A few text webpages had the wrong footer 3. Cloud top phase satellite colorbar restored And with all of the things I've done in the last month, the website should be faster for you. -Gilbert

Our text server is working again. Thank you for your patience. -Gilbert
