Weather alerts weren't going out for a few days last week, so that might have coincided with what you saw.

Other possibilities:

*) Our dbfawk files in CVS may not match the current NWS files.

*) You might not be running the latest Xastir, therefore don't have dbfawk files that match the current NWS files.

*) The NWS has changed their files again and we haven't updated our get-NWSdata" script to correspond.  This doesn't seem to match the error message, but could also be happening.

*) You haven't run that script (as root) to snag the latest NWS Shapefiles.  Again, doesn't seem to match the error message but might be worth doing anyway.
