Due to a power outage for maintenance purposes in our town today, AWN computers will be unable to update the site between 9:30 am and approximately 3:30 pm.

OCF forecasts, the Daily Weather Summary and other data products will begin updating as soon as power is restored, however it will take a couple of hours for processing to catch up to real time.

My apologies for this unavoidable inconvenience.

They are archived in the relevant day's Daily Weather Summary to help make it a more complete record of the day's events. Timeliness of the reports is entirely at the mercy of my available time so, for the most up-to-date information, make good use of my media links here.
