Are any other meteorology geeks....

...having trouble accessing NOAA weather products? I've tried to get constant pressure charts and satellite imagery all day and I can't connect to the servers that house these products.

1. There is a weather group

2. Check out Jeff Masters blog at Weather Underground?

3. "RADAR NOT AVAILABLE"

"Under maintenance." That's what it says right now when I tried to check the NYC region. Maybe they are having some kind of back-end problem? Getting real-time weather data out to these web applications has to be at least a little bit complicated.

4. Don't you have DUATS?

6. Yes, but there are some specific charts I'm looking for that DUATS....

...doesn't have.

5. "NNDC's Online Store is temporarily unavailable. "

"If you experience data retrieval errors, please try again in 12-24 hours."

7. Does this one have the charts you're looking for?

Found it through http://www.weathercharts.org/

8. Almost, but not quite....

...I'm looking for an overlay of isotachs (winds), height contours, isotherms (temperatures), and upper level highs and lows at 300mb. The reason why is a couple of days I saw that shearing winds are beginning to diminish in the Gulf and the SE Atlantic. This coupled with a steady flow of tropical waves is an indication that our first real tropical cyclones of the season are almost upon us. Furthermore, I believe that sea-surface temperature conditions are similar to the 2005 season (and may be slightly elevated). This does not bode well for July.

9. Apparently....

...nearly every tropical cyclone tool and product has trouble today. The ocean web site is down, constant pressure charts (the government products, not the watered down commercial ones) are down, and satellite imagery is sporadic. Strange coincidences/happenstances/enemy action say I.

11. Not sure if this will help...

Appears to be a prog chart rather than an analysis, and it's for yesterday.



Or there's this, but it seems to be CONUS only:

10. I just checked and I had no trouble...

But there have been times in the past when the NOAA site has been sluggish.
