MSNBC weather codes for forecasttext.txt

[Scotty]

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.

All the best.............Scotty

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

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