I have spent a fair amount of time on the NOAA website and I really like the capabilities of the NBDC, but it seems like most of the places I plan to boat only have half of the information listed. Why don't they list "wave height" for instance on the bouy inside of grays harbor? Back to top. Posted: Thu Jun 27, pm Post subject:. There is no anemometer on the buoy.

If you'd like the AppleScript I use to parse the time and percent chance of precipitation from the shell script output and populate Indigo variables with that info, let me know and I can post that as well. There is a noaa graphical weather forecast or 'zone' forecast and you simply click anywhere on the map.

The NDFD is one example of this transformation. You can provide comments on this web service from the following page. The NDFD is updated no more than hourly. We request developers using this SOAP service for local applications only make a request for a specific point no more than once an hour. The database is currently updated by 45 minutes after the hour. Figure 1 provides a graphical view of the process. You can download several simple sample client applications by clicking on the following links:. NOTE : These clients are examples only and will not run as is.

Short range forecast products depicting pressure patterns, circulation centers and fronts, and types and extent of precipitation. Day 1 Day 2 Day 3. Highs, lows, fronts, troughs, outflow boundaries, squall lines, drylines for much of North America, the Western Atlantic and Eastern Pacific oceans, and the Gulf of Mexico. Standard Size High Resolution. Expected weather precipitating or non-precipitating valid at the indicated hour. The weather element includes type, probability, and intensity information. Sustained wind speed in knots and expected wind direction using 36 points of a compass forecasts.

The second field is the percentage chance of precipitation for that time period. All times are GMT - 5 Hours. Posted: Thu Jun 27, pm Post subject:. Google [Bot] Logout [ Google [Bot] ].

The below script will create the weather variables in Indigo if they don't exist, so there's no Indigo changes that you need to do, other than, perhaps, creating a Scheduled task to run the below script as an external script file, not an embedded one on a regular basis. Looks like a straight ahead Web services call, but I'm not a programmer so I don't understand all the complexities if I WERE a programmer, I'd do what you suggest and write a plug-in! But it certainly looks as though the data is available - it's just a matter of getting and parsing it. Why don't they list "wave height" for instance on the bouy inside of grays harbor? It's kind of odd, since NWS obviously forecasts the chance of rain a day or more in advance. However, it you click on the "Meteorological Observations for Nearby Stations and Ships" you can locate wind speeds and wind gusts in nearby Latitude and Longitude locations as the Waverider Buoy.

Where do you go for weather and wave info? Yea, the NWS probability is probably the original source for the Weather. Code: Select all! Also, note that the output of the time value is in seconds from midnight just like how AppleScript calculates time when you get the "time of current date " value. C-Dawg sold November The data is a verbose block of text which has no practical uses in automation because it's not structured. This is further complicated by the fact that we don't have a good way to display blocks of text on Control Pages - something we want to address in a future version of Indigo but we don't support yet. NSheldon, thanks for the info. There is no anemometer on the buoy. If you're interested, the shell script code is below. It is mostly for wind and kite boarding. NOTE: Predictions for the next 12 hours generated after PM will include time periods after midnight of the following day, but will have time representations less than the current time of day and should be assumed to be predictions for the following day, not predictions for previous time periods of the current day. The first is within the NOAA site you listed. Those are updated every 6 hours, and often in between when there is corrections or unexpected developments.
