The flow of National Weather Service data has been down for the past few hours. This is a nationwide outage of their satellite system, so there are lots of folks in this same boat. Will update this message once it is resolved upstream.

Update 3:30 PM: Data is flowing again and the extent of the outage was from approximately 12 to 3 PM. I suspect some data is lost forever.
