Weather Station Offline at TVA Kingston Fossil
By: onetahiti

Since we lost the private weather station on Joiner Hollow Road in Rockwood earlier this year, the HADS Kingston Fossil weather station at the TVA coal facility has been the one closest to Rockwood and West Roane County available through Weather Underground as well as the NWS. This morning the station was offline.

According to the National Weather Service, "HADS is an acronym for the Hydrometeorological Automated Data System, a real-time data acquisition and data distribution system operated by the Office of Hydrologic Development of the National Weather Service."

Does anyone know whether it will be back online soon, or whether it is offline permanently? HADS Kingston Fossil has disappeared from the list of available stations.

I just called. TVA said they were having a computer problem and the weather station will be back up soon. :)
