Curtis ok. This sounds sort of familiar. A year or so back, I was playing with the database Serotek uses with System Access to GO and discovered much the same phenomenon for certain locations. It would pick up unexpected info and not handle it correctly. After some experimenttation with Wunderground, I discovered that, dependent on how one has there Wunderground preferences set, one may get weather either from the nearest airport (probably Devils Lake, in your case) or the nearest weather station. So when I use IE6 with Wunderground, in your case, I get current conditions for Devils Lake. In Firefox, due to my intentionally setting my preferences, I get conditions from a place called Cathay, ND. Now, what we would need to know next from whoever at GWMicro wrote this script is this: are Wunderground parameters set by the script or how they happen to be on your pc? Wunderground provides a great deal of flexibility and tweeking it may be something important here. Personally, I prefer using the official air port locations, but others more often than not rather see these public sites referenced as they, such as in your case, they are closer to where you are. What I do not like about some of these sites, however, is some may not be calibrated all that well as generated numbers often are outliers and observations may not include wind speed, dew point, whatever if the equipment at that point doesn't supply that type of data.
Devils lake zip code is 58301; and perhaps you may wish to try that and see if you get better results using that. If you reply to this message it will be delivered to the original sender only.
