[JJR512]

scottc1, the problem appears to be with the data itself. I checked the raw data feed for Hartford, and it does indeed say "Flurries/ Wind". The current weather type is present in the data as plain text, and, for display, is just pulled out as plain text and stuck in the template. There's no processing going on, so whatever it says there, is what the raw data says. So, somebody at The Weather Channel screwed up, I guess! (Oh, BTW, the weather is now provided by The Weather Channel through MSNBC, no longer is it AccuWeather through MSNBC...another detail change I'll have to make later, it still says AccuWeather in the templates).

However, this plain-text current weather type may have been deprecated...As I was studying the raw data feed to figure out the new icon system, I noticed that the current weather type as displayed on MSNBC's site did not always match what the feed had in it. But there was a correlation between the current weather type and the icon itself. I believe they are now using a new system of using the icon as a reference to look up a weather type to display; in other words, if the raw data feed says to use icon 12 for the current weather icon, then the type should say "cloudy", which it figures out using a lookup table. There are a few discrepencies with this theory, but it seems to be more accurate than using the old way. I'll be studying that more.
