Severe Thunderstorms likely in central Wisconsin today. I'll be out there chasing later this afternoon!

The fuel is there today. All it needs is something to pull the trigger, hopefully not in my backyard but maybe in a bare field somewhere. Good luck today!

FYI I've opened up snowfall accumulation and other map making access to Kevin Z. If you see new maps being shared with the WIWX watermark across the interwebs, it is expected. Thank you!

Watch out tonight across northern Iowa, southeast MN, and Western WI. Fast moving tornadoes possible. Very strong wind gusts too.

Wow, this is Dec. 15 and an MDT close to home! Hopefully the squall line has weakened enough when it gets here that it doesn’t bring down the high winds aloft. It could be a double whammy.

v11.12 out tonight for bug fixes on the post and threads pages related to likes, edit, deletes, and media previews. Home page changes: removed youtube videos section due to lack of content. If I post a video it will still display in the feed. Double posting problem on home page for blogs, I will work out a solution. Brought back discussion board widget on home page to try something different but also might want to give technical updates their own place. I want to clear out any bugs or weirdness before starting on new features. No luck with .grb2 file processing meaning 7-day forecasts will remain as is for now. Need to optimize the new feed because it currently updates on every page load. Thanks!

Dry Weather Pattern Holding

The last 60 days have been drier than average across Wisconsin as we quietly descend into winter

Good news. If your membership was canceled BUT you kept your account, you can now reactivate your membership! The reactivation button is on the Account page under the Membership tab. Clicking this button will only flip the membershipActive flag in the system so you can receive alerts/comms and interact with the website. If you run into problems please let me know. New memberships can now be started too if interested. There is bug with the "like" button not working on the post page and discussion boards that I will fix. Several things on my mind for the coming months. Thanks!

Update 11.11 went out tonight and SMS/TXT MSG services should be working again. You will need to verify your number on the account page. Once verified all updates (nws, blog, etc) should flow like before. Cleared the way for new member registration & updated the registration page. Post update I realized we don't have a reactivation process for old expired accounts so I'm keeping the maintenance block on the registration page until I can finish the job. And the service descriptions have changed so need to update the advert. Beyond that hopefully some new content, features, and forecasts one of these days. Thanks!

Pushed a few fixes live tonight. I’m bringing back the SMS/TXT MSG service for free! It's not quite ready yet. I reset everybody's phoneNumComfirmed flag to 0 so that no messages will get sent unless you opt-in again. Will let you know how to do that later. I loved that service and I'm excited for it's return. Another motivation is to add service for scheduled send of 7 Day Forecasts, let's say every SUN PM for the week ahead so it just hits my phone and I don't have to go searching for it. I'm still working through sms integration with the provider and will let you know when it's ready. One last thing; I'm itching to bring back free memberships and that should happen on the next update. Take care guys!

Great work Justin! I was just asking about SMS/TXT Message service; so that’s exciting! Always good to see you develop and go live with improvements. Almost like old times! Thanks!

OCTOBER UPDATE: hoping to push through some fixes soon following the 11.0 update last month. Will fix issue with timestamp showing as UTC and profile page composer error message. I recently started working full time again in the analytical field so my availability is not what it used to be but looking forward to when the development itch returns! I have a list of idea's and even though my presence here is diminished I'm always keeping an eye on things. I'm open & hopeful to return. Never know what the future will bring! Take care and Happy Holiday's!
