This app has been updated on Sep 7, 2024 to use an alternative service. it should use existing zip code configurations, so it should just start working again.

NOAA has decommissioned the service that this widget was using. I am in the process of replacing this widget with a new one using an alternative service

Weather display states "undefined". I have tried removing and adding my zip code again but no luck. great app until this happened.

The forecast and current temps on this app are at least 12 hours old or delayed.

This app was not getting data because of the partial US government shutdown from Dec 2018 through Jan 2019, which affected the NOAA servers. We have restored the feed and are monitoring it carefully, however, since more government shutdowns are quite possible later this year (expiration of January 2019 CR, raising of debt ceiling), this app may again lose its feed.

Is there any update on when this app will begin working again? It has been down for several days now.

This had been working fine until a few days ago - now the data fields show up as "undefined"

Doesn't update. Looks pretty, but it's useless.

Won't update. I have to power cycle my Dash to get current data.

This one seems to always be a few hours behind time. Must not update enough.

As of Feb 21 2017 this widget should be working again.

Loads fine here, but never seems to retrieve any information on my Chumby.

Crashes my Chumby. :(

Is there a way to make this nice application REMEMBER the Zip code like others apps??? otherwise will be a dummy application. Looks to me someone already complied in May 2012 and...... nothing was changed

Is there any way to have the app remember the ZIP code so you don't have to enter it every time the app launches?

I've had this app forever and I really like it BUT could you please add the time/date somewhere?

If I just want to use my chummy 8 for nothing but a weather station, can I just set this to play app for "forever"? or does that mean it will never update current conditions? thanks

The reason that this widget is not available on the Sony dash is that Sony has an exclusive arrangement with another weather provider, and that arrangement prevents other weather widgets from being offered.
phlegmer
– February 03 2012
So why does this app say that it's no longer available on the dash yet it works just fine on my Chumby One?

The weather for 85048 is always wrong. 85048 is a zipcode in the Phoenix area, but the weather displayed seems to be for somewhere in northern AZ (eg, 10 to 15 degrees cooler)

Same for me, stuck on Wednesday and current weather hasn't changed all day.

Today it's stuck again, displaying yesterday's weather (Wed 9/28 instead of Thu 9/29/11).

Thank you guys for the comments, it helps us track these problems down much easier. We are aware of the issue and are currently working on a fix. Hopefully it will be back up and running soon.

Stuck since last Thursday as others have commented. Sorry to have to get rid of it, but it is useless now. Please fix, ASAP!!!!

Texas is stuck on Thursday and not updating as well...can't use it as it currently stands.

Same issue here for Northern Cal.

Ours also not updating. Tried another (far away) zip code - same thing.

Anybody having update problems? Mine stopped updating on 9/22/11 for 39211 zip. The main weather still shows Thursdays temp.

I was wrong about the ads only being on the Default Channel. The previous posters were right, the ads do seem to be attached to this app.
bobsz
– September 16 2011
I think the adds may just have been tacked on by Chumby on the default channel, not from the app itself. Chumby admits they may put ads on your default channel. I put the NOAA app on another channel, and no more ads. (So far, anyway.)
joey

Started to display advertisements. Deleted.

Started displaying ads. Deleted immediately. Too bad. I liked this app.

Fails to show the correct city for my zip code. It might be pulling it's data from the following site: http://www.mongabay.com/igapo/ When there are multiple cities in a single zip code, it shows the first one alphabetically.

I have to agree, the app stinks. it's currently about 19 outside here in dallas, snowy/icy, and the app says it's 35 with light rain. wtf? the forecast seems to be ok, but the current conditions are being read from the wrong place on the net. *thumbs down*

Mediocre widget. Temperatures seem hours behind and really miss my weather radar.
gregmwc
– January 16 2011
I used this to show the temp in the middle of the night, it worked fine during the day. At night it stopped reporting the correct temp, it showed it was 45 degree's outside, and it was actually 29. I switched to Accuweather

It only supports U.S. That's why I don't like it.What about the other world?
spunk_
– January 05 2011
useless: just shows weather for the united states. when will all the other countries be supported?

This new app stinks. It is reporting that it is 27 F in Atlanta now and it is over 40. Removing it now.
Mithos

The old default weather app was replaced by this US-Only version. I had no weather radar on the old one for my region, but at least it worked. This one doesn't, so I had to remove it. Still looking for a really good one.
DangLad
– January 02 2011
The weather consistently seems to be about 2 hours late for my area (78703). It's very frustrating, and I've uninstalled the app after trying to work with it for a week. The old Weather Channel app was excellent, and I'm very sad to see it go.

Great app; NOAA is my go-to source for weather forecasts. But why only show the day forecasts? Maybe include option to display night forecasts as well?
dmaxwell
– December 09 2010
Yes, this is a problem at NOAA - believe it or not, there's a rogue satellite (Galaxy 15) that's messing up NOAA's satellite (SES-1), so you can expect very spotty information through the rest of 2010. See: http://wattsupwiththat.com/2010/12/06/zombie-satellite-shuts-down-critical-noaa-nws-systems-overnight/

The weather has not update forecast since Saturday, currently, it is not working
sultnwoz

It's broke again. It hasn't updated the weather for Cleveland, Ohio for two weeks or more. Worse yet, some other apps, like the LOCAL app, are deriving from the stuck feed.
joey
– February 23 2010
Yeah busted again for me two. It's been working fine after the update in late 2007.
harmlessgryphon
– February 21 2010
This seems to be partially broken - It's been showing the correct forecast for the last week, but the temp/press/humidity hasn't changed for some time.

Any way to add the current time to this great widget? Love it, but I use the Chumby as my main clock when I'm getting ready for work, and need the current time showing on all my widgets.
MSlafka

I knew that as soon as I commented it would resolve itself! It's working fine now -- keep up the great work!
dmaxwell
– August 23 2009
It appears that the upstream data feed from NOAA is offline. This happens every now and then - we'll take a look to see if something else has changed.
MSlafka
– August 23 2009
This is one of my favorite weather widgets because it provides so much information on a single screen and is very accurate. However, since 8/19, it has been "stuck" on a point in time on that day and hasn't updated since.

couldn't find my zip, but found a neighboring zip. Aside from this, super. Very nice one page summary.

zipcode 66045 city is spelled wrong, it should be Lawrence
bradlevy
– June 26 2008
displays Laurence instead of Lawrence, KS for zip 66047.

Just says "LOADING" for valid ZIP codes in my area...... Never finishes LOADING information.

Excellent, but please, please can we have pressure in millibars as an option? Thanks --mco

I found the spot to change it under my Chumby and its works for me. All of the options happen in the same place where you delete, change the order, Ect. Try a different zipcode that is near you. Nearest airport would be a good bet.

This seems to be a Widget for San Diego only. I can't see anywhere to change its location.

This fails to display for my zip code as well: 48080
