System Notes
Updates and user notes are kept here:10/1/25 Added Flight Tracker under Live Data.
9/29/25 Added NWS clickable map forecasts. Zoom in or out the map and double click anywhere for that location's forecast.
9/28/25 New version of NOAA Level 3 radar product allows MultiRadar MultiSensor (MRMS) Radar. It is de-cluttered and a pretty map. Replaced Home page local radar map and HybridScan under Level 3 radar images. Contact me if you'd like a better explanation of types and differences between radar images.
8/29/25 Added Pollen Report under Live Data, has history and forecasts too.
8/16/25 Added World, US, and Georgia Extremes daily under Almanac.
8/10/25 Added River Levels under Live Data, Toccoa, Coosawattee, Cartecay and Notley rivers.
8/9/25 Changed the NWS warning header at the top of he page so that, IF there NO warnings, watches or advisories AND the K index is 5 or greater it will advise the K index and note that radio or visual aurora is possible. Those if us who are Ham Radio operators are interested in the K index as a measure of geomagnetic field disruption. Ham Radio operators can bounce signals off of aurora even if the northern lights are not far enough south to be visually observable. Last spring we had a major geomagnetic storm where aurora was visible in Georgia. Very rare. The K index was a 9. The current K index is available is a couple places under 'space stuff'.
8/1/25 A few things, 1) I added a language picker for languages other than English. Not all words and phrases have translations, but for the most part they do. 2) Added Georgia Weather History on the main page near the bottom. I may move it somewhere else, but for now its there. Added TVA Lake Blue Ridge info to external links.
7/24/25 Added Multi-Radar Multi-Sensor Radar, under Radar. A neat product from NWS, lots of things to click on and different views possible.
6/24/25 Clickable Alerts Map formated to fit in a regular page and the advisory system replaced by the clickable map with alerts added to it. Click on any alert in the legend and be taken to all NWS alerts of that type. 'Forecasts and Advisories' renamed 'Forecasts and Alerts', and the new Alerts page is 'Alerts and Map'. You can still click on the alerts bar at the top of the main page and go straight to the new Alerts and Map.

6/3/25: Air Quality information reorganized under Live Data->Air Qulaity. Some links to EPA information are broken as EPA no longer publishes some of the data. New sources are being sought, but not yet found.

3/27/25: GRLevel3 radar will soon disappear. The program that does this has been a two week free trial and the version that does the uploading is no longer available for purchase. Since the free trial will run out shortly, there is nothing I can do to keep this running, although it is very nice.

1/25/25: Many browsers refuse to obey the no-cache directives. This means images are not necessarily up to date. There is an extension one can add to prevent caching of the image files. In chrome the one I have used is called Cache Disabler. Most live data updates every 30 seconds, all information updates every 5 minutes.
