Hi Dan and everyone on the forum. I've just experienced my first major weather event since the alert 'fix' in January. My area of north MS just had a tornado watch, a tornado warning, a flash flood watch and subsequent flash flood warning, all simultaneously, and all my modules have shown is the flash flood watch. My cache is refreshing properly using CRON job and I even went to the component and cleared and refreshed.
Has anyone else experienced this and any ideas how to correct it?

I will look into it, but I will need to find a location with multiple alerts to test it. Z Weather should display multiple alerts (I have seen as many as 5 on one of my sites), so if the new version is not showing them, then it will be corrected.

I just happened to check one of my sites and it is showing 2 alerts correctly, a "Wind Advisory"
and "High Wind Warning". If it happens again on your site save the alert XML file ( you can display it from the back-end) and send it to me. It looks like the alerts have ended on your site. Keep in mind the alerts are particular to the county you have specified, so alerts in surrounding areas will not be displayed unless they include your county.

Thanks for checking Dan. At the time, the alerts were in my county. However, the next time we had alerts everything worked fine so I'm assuming the issue was with the NWS feed somehow. I'll continue to keep a close eye on for a while.
I'm currently working on a new site where I will have weather instruments located at at least 7 locations and all showing current conditions on one map. I plan to use ZWeather there as I currently do so it'll get a good workout and hopefully be seen by a few million folks each year.
Thanks for all you do!

Dan, I currently have a Frost Advisory for my area - Lee County Mississippi. It isn't showing up on my site - tupeloweather.com - and I have this issue **** Error: Bad Alert XML file (parseXML) that I have put on another thread. I tried to find where in the backend to print the xml file but evidently I'm overlooking it.
Any help will be very much appreciated. Thanks!
