Title: MSNBC weather codes for forecasttext.txt
Post by: Scotty on January 12, 2004, 03:51:52 PM
My forecasttext.txt file was missing a couple of codes when I checked the weather in Salt Lake City. My file is dated Nov 2003, so maybe I have failed to update it (although I'm running TP 11).

Anyway, the codes are:

122    Foggy

161    AM Fog / PM Clouds

Easy to add them to your file using a text editor, and hopefully the file is being kept current with new releases of TP.

Would appreciate knowing where you found  the descriptions for the missing codes.

When I saw the missing codes on my TP screen, I immediately went to MSNBC / weather.com (that's the source for the TP forecasts), and looked at the detailed forecast for the same city & day ...... from that, I reasoned that (for example) code 161 must mean AM Fog / PM Clouds. Entered it into forecasttext.txt, cleared buffer, refreshed, and now my TP screen accurately reflected the MSNBC data.

Update on this topic: Fishboy has made a "sticky" thread here

http://www.dark-mojo.com/todayplus/viewtopic.php?t=1354

where you can (i) add newly-identified codes and (ii) download the latest forecasttext.txt file.
