Old Data

Has anyone else had a problem with old data. After several downloads, my data is 6 hours or more old and the fronts generate garbage. I am running the DAWS Proffessional v1.1h on a P4 machine using Windows 2000. Thanks

1.) What kind of data are you downloading? Synoptic data is only updated every 6 hours, while METAR is once per hour.
2.) Where are you downloading your data from? Sometimes, for whatever reasons, weather servers don't get updated with perfect regularity.
3.) The front problem is a known bug in DAWS. Hopefully Tim will fix this in a future update.

hth,
Bob

Thanks for the reply Bob. I download SAO's hourly and it is those that stay in the data files unless I manually clear ALL folders. Guess the pesky fronts are a holdover from DA 2000.

Thanks again.
