Greetings,
My METAR ingester has been complaining a great deal about poorly formatted
coming from KWBC since 1:30Z this evening. I haven't seen any
admin notices yet. Anybody hear anything? :)

It all seems to be coming from the northeast US nodes, however. It seems
to have been fixed just before 4Z.
Either comms problems, or in the PHL ob from 0Z, 1 foot waves in the city
are a forecast of Armageddon. :-)
All things considered, 1-foot waves aren't THAT bad...
