Frank -

Read the reports on the Dr Jack site. See this Forum thread:
http://www.drjack.info/cgi-bin/forum.cgi/read/1862#1862

In summary: The RUC forecast system was retired recently, so
everything dependent on that data has broken. NAM forecasts still
work.

Jack and Walt Rogers are working over the next 1-2 weeks to get the
"new" RAP forecast models working with Dr Jack's various tools and
things will be back up and running once that work is done. No idea
yet if the RAP will be better or worse than the RUC at forecasting
what us glider pilots want to see.
