We tried to get the Real time data from Grand rapids >station on the same day. But on IDV, the GRR station was not to be >seen at all. So we were not able to view the real time info using >the GRR station. We did use the Detroit station though. Grand rapids >would have helped us better. What could have happened to GRR >station? was it down because of the heavy showers / wind? Do you ever see the GRR data plotted? I assume you are talking about METAR data. Did you have decluttering turned on? I looked at the historical data with McIDAS and the data were there, so they should have been plotted if you got the data from adde.ucar.edu.
