Critical Fire Weather in the High Plains and Midwest; Heavy Snow in the Western Mountains and Northern Plains

Gusty winds and low relative humidity will bring critical fire weather to the central/southern High Plains and portions of the Midwest. Two Pacific storms will continue to bring heavy mountain snow and gusty winds to the western U.S. through Thursday. A swath of wintry weather, including heavy snow and a wintry mix, is expected from the Northern Plains to New England. Read More >

You are exactly right, and that is a brilliant catch. "The bullet that made it to the target" indeed! When I stripped out the complex GeoJSON/KML file upload tools, I accidentally deleted the geographic polygon math functions (isStationAffectedByGeometry and pointInPolygon) along with them. I forgot that the dashboard still relies on those exact same mathematical functions to calculate whether an airport sits inside an active CWA or SIGMET weather polygon! Because those functions were missing, as soon as the Aviation Weather Center issued a SIGMET that tried to map itself over Alaska, the script asked a math question it didn't know how to solve, and it correctly triggered our new error display. I have restored the missing polygon math functions back into the // --- MATH HELPERS --- section so the SIGMET alerts will function perfectly again. The Fully Repaired Code (Copy & Replace) HTML
