• 5 June 2025: The app was mostly rewritten and now uses a URL Parameters pil= style page reference. Any previous bookmarks should continue to work, but you may want to update them to the new style.
• 29 Mar 2024: Backend documentation exists for those wishing to script against this service.
• 15 May 2019: If you specify a three character PIL, you will get any PIL matches that start with those three characters. You can optionally specify a WMO Header (TTAAII) to reduce PIL ambiguity.
• 19 Jan 2012: Added the ability to limit a AFOS PIL by the issuing center ID (4 character). For example, the AFOS pil RWRTX is issued by a number of centers in Texas. To only get RWRTX from Fort Worth, enter KFWD for the center.

Using our local UNIDATA IDD data feed, a simple script archives recent NWS text products into a database. You must know the AFOS PIL / AWIPS ID in order to get the products you want.

The archive maintains products from at least the most recent 7 days. A daily scrubber runs at 3:30 AM each day to reindex the products and delete old products, so the query interface is off-line at that time. This interruption should only last 10 minutes.

If you don't like this app, here is the old one.
