Another donation-funded development, the Local Risk Assessment is a table that results from a parsing of your WX-SIM forecast and lets local and worldwide web surfers visiting your site to see if inclement weather is on the horizons at your location, based on webmaster configurations. More information is available at: Jordan Gerth
Testing is requested from all climates! It is difficult for me to pinpoint errors with only winter weather in the forecast. Suggestions are encouraged.
I thought I’d try this out and I must have something wrong. I’m getting the entire plaintext.txt in the footer as seen at the link below. Perhaps you can steer me right. It’s also affecting the header of the horizontal version as well as the footer in the vertical one.
I have the same problem, my solution for now was to put it on a different page, http://www.branfordfire.com/weather/wx4.php as I thought maybe “wsofd” was interfering? But now I see weatherbee figured it out somehow!
All I did was follow the instructions. There is one difference from the forecast instructions in that you only put wsrsk.php where you want it to show. It is not needed in a require statement before the html like wsofd.php did in the forecast version.
Fixed me up too, thanks for the quick response. I’m not sure I’ll use this where I have it, but I think a contribution is in order regardless. I kind of have a craving for a steak sandwich from the Brathaus myself. - Jim
Indeed! 1.05 has been released to fix this issue; sorry, folks, about the issues. In any case, we have a nice snow going in Madison so the day is good!
Mine was working OK with 1.04 :D, but as I usually update anyway when new versions become available, do I have to update both the wsrsk and the rskcfg php files to get to 1.05…
I’m not too sure whether other users would agree, but would it be possible to have, a main thin boundary frame around the outside of the graphic outputs. At the moment, unless the webpage has a background colour (or image), the graphics edges become un-delineated with the background white. ie see my webpage at http://www.elginweather.co.uk/jordan/fcst.php where it is particularly noticeable on the “threat graphic”. OR is there an easy way to change the background colour of the whole php page? I’m afraid my feeble efforts have failed so far on that front!
My wxsim forecast is:
Dense overcast. A chance of snow. Low 23, but temperatures rising after midnight. Wind south-southeast around 4 mph. Chance of precipitation 50 percent. Precipitation (liquid equivalent) mostly around a tenth of an inch. Snow accumulation about an inch.
The wxsim forecast script shows .1 in, which I’d think should say, 1".
The NWS has issued …WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 7 AM EST MONDAY…
But the script shows, no hazards.
This is a test page to see if I want to use the script. It is at http://www.nhpaweather.com/wxfrmtht.php
Also, as of now I haven’t loaded the image files for this script. The server seems to be down at the moment.
Did you configure rskcfg.php to show a significant snow hazard for one inch? A hazard will not be shown for a National Weather Service warning or advisory.
