I'm simply refreshing the one at the NHC: http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/text/URNT15-USAF.shtml?

[Chris_in_Tampa]

http://weather.noaa.gov/pub/data/raw/ur/

That was the one that had failed briefly. It missed about three sets of obs and then came back online. Looks like it was fixed fast. I noticed some brief issues in the hurricane center's recon archive too, so I guess it all got fixed quick. For now I am using:

http://twister.sbs.ohio-state.edu/text/ ... RNT15.KNHC

Until the other one is stable again for a bit.
