Can I receive Weather Reports by email?
Yes! Just navigate to the weather location and report of your choice, and click on the "Have this forecast emailed to you daily!" Link! You can receive your WeatherCast on a daily basis beginning and ending whenever you like!
Ocassionally I get a message "Forcast not Available". Why?
At certain times the National Weather Service will allow certain "Zone Forecasts" to expire with out an update being released before hand thus it disappears form the list. It may take a couple hours or so for it to be updated at times. This is not an iisue of WeatherCast System, but is simply the manner in which the NWS updates the zone forecasts. The best proceedure is to try to refresh your browser to make sure that the report is not cached, and then to navigate upwards toward the state or national level to get the best available report at that time.Other Resources
