WxCoder, which is a program used by our cooperative observers to report their temperature and precipitation amounts, is currently suffering technical difficulties. Specialists are aware of the problem and hope to have it fixed soon.

In the meantime, observers may wish to write their observations down and enter them when WxCoder is back up and running. Or, they may call us on our observer line, or on our public line at 502-969-8842 between 8am and 6pm EST. Also, the site may work in Firefox.

Sorry for the inconvenience -- hopefully it won't last long!
