Metar ID Change in TX
-
Metars for KAPY are not on NOAAPort yet, just the notam (AIDAP) feed. This is common when station IDs change. NCEP needs to add it to their directory so the Metars will be sent over NOAAPort. A request has been submitted for this to be done.
It is available via weather.noaa.gov, but this is not fed by NOAAPort.

ADDS has it as well, but again, not fed by the NOAAPort, which most public sites get.

New Plains AWOS Now Available
BPC - Pampa/Mesa Vista TX
BKN - Blackwell OK
GZL - Stigler OK
MDS - Madison SD
RCE - Oklahoma City (Yukon) OK
Unfortunately, these have not been added to NOAAPort for distribution
yet. I need to let NCEP know. However, the Metars are on
weather.noaa.gov, ADDS, and AIDAP.

Site ID still shows up as 4XS7 in the FAA database, but a recent Natl
Flight Data Digest officially noted this site ID has changed, and it is no
longer "Austin" as a political name location anymore (Austin is some 40
mi to the SE!)

That area of TX from Paducah/Haskell/Throckmorton/Olney/Seymour
is a curious gap, considering so much of other areas of Texas have
been covered w/ new sites this decade. There are airports in all these
towns.
Only others I know of that should be available soon are Austin/Executive Arpt
(6R4 soon to be EDC) and Ozona (OZA).

Formerly 6R4...has not changed in the AirNav database yet.
On another note, many AWOSs have had their software upgraded to report
6 hr max/min, calendar day max/min, and 3/6/24 hr pcpn groups. Some
examples from W TX sites below:

As far as I know, only sites operated by Vaisala are getting this upgrade. I do
not have a list of Vaisala only AWOS sites, but they do have several hundred
across the U.S.
