Default SkySight Soaring Weather Forecasting

FYI...

I will be presenting at the SSA Convention Reno 9am March 1st:

"Soaring Forecasting – Models and Websites UPDATE"

Will be comparing Skysight.io, XCSkies, and TopMeteo ... special mention to RASP and Paul Scorer's work. This will include Pros/Cons of each service and updates since my February 2017 Soaring magazine article.

I'll also show the latest web sites for modeling output, radar, GOES-16,17 imagery... the latest and best. Plus my take on "Weather in the Cockpit - 2018".

Bernd Fisher will use some of my time to talk about TopMeteo

Matthew Scutter will be presenting on Skysight.io Friday Mar 2nd, 11am

Walt Rogers WX

PS - If you are driving to Reno.. please check latest forecasts. Good chance of snow - Tue through Thursday.

Is anyone else having trouble getting Skysight to display the forecast models for Saturday March 24, 2018?

I can get Friday and Sunday, but Saturday comes up blank for the entire US East sector. US West appears normal.

I have been having trouble getting the "Potential Flight Distance" to display once I paid for the year Probably just bad timing, but it has been a week now that the above does not display.

It's all working up to Thursday 29 March for me. Could have been fixed in the last few hours?
Matthew is very responsive, but spends most of his time in a different time zone to those in the USA.

No joy. I've been trying since yesterday, but the Saturday dataset is still missing as of 5pm EDT. The last update was 2:49pm EDT. I'm hoping it does a master data refresh and reruns the algorithms at some point.

Sorry, should have specified US West was working. East has a blank for Saturday. May be just missing data in the in the current forecast 2:49pm EDT? Try US East again in a few hours.
