The third phase (of 4 planned) to upgrade the software and website was implemented at 0700 this morning. A new report, Fire Weather Danger is now active under "Forecasts & Advisories. It gives local fire Warning Computations, the natonal fire map and Fire weather discussion from the National Fire Service.

The first phase (of 4 planned) to upgrade the software and website was implemented at 0700 this morning. A new category, "Reports" is active. There are duplicate reports and data displays, these will be removed in the phase 3 activity, the cleanup and normalization. If you find errors, email me and I'll work up a correction.

A long overdue software upgrade is in process. It will extend over a couple of weeks. Eventual result will be enhanced reporting and screen display data. Believe me, there will be issues / problems. Things that worked may not; or will work differently. If you run across problems - broken / missing links, images, etc, please drop me a note and I'll work it.

Users of the Air Quality Information Routines - over the last couple of months, the 'actuals' for Maricopa and Pinal County have been showing 'no data'. Research has indicated that the Pinal Air Quality site no longer uploads their actual readings to the AZ and federal/EPA site, so I can no longer grab them. I plan to leave the report as-is, as there is a possibilty they will resume in 2011
