Summary

Users were told WIMS reached end of life Oct. 1 and that short maintenance will occur tomorrow morning; developers will deploy fixes restoring expanded station chart ranges and correcting missing-data impacts on trend charts, with a larger December release planned to add Mesonet stations and catalog management.

Moderator opened the monthly FEMs office hours by reminding attendees that WIMS reached end of life on Oct. 1 and that data remain accessible via the data warehouse and emergency archives. They announced a short maintenance window scheduled for tomorrow from 08:00 to 10:00 Eastern to apply a targeted release intended to fix two regression bugs introduced by the previous update.

The first bug, the moderator said, had shortened expanded station charts to show roughly one day of data; the imminent patch will restore a longer view (about three days of previous data and a three-day forecast) so users can compare recent and near-future conditions. The second bug caused missing current observations to be incorrectly reflected in historical trend lines; the fix will keep the historical-period trend intact while leaving current-year gaps visible where observations are missing.

Looking beyond the immediate patch, the moderator previewed a mid-December release expected to ingest Mesonet stations that had been available in WIMS and to add NFTRS parameter catalog management for FEMs administrators. The December release also carries a fix for a bulk upload and field-sample error that has prevented some users from uploading large datasets; developers reported the fix is ready and will be included in the December deployment.

Staff urged users to continue reporting bugs through chat or the help materials so developers can reproduce and prioritize fixes. The moderator closed by saying office hours will continue monthly and that updated master station databases and Power BI reports will be posted as they become available.
