I have the following template:

[OBSERVED DATETIME],[STATION],[TEMP PLAIN],[DEW PLAIN],[HUMIDITY PLAIN],[WIND PLAIN],[BAROMETER PLAIN],[RAIN TODAY PLAIN], [DAILY LOOP COUNT=7][TEMPLATE][DAILY PRECIPITATION DAY],[DAILY PRECIPITATION NIGHT], [/TEMPLATE][/DAILY LOOP][DAILY LOOP COUNT=1,START=2][TEMPLATE][FORECAST],[DAILY PREDICTION DAY][/TEMPLATE][/DAILY LOOP]

This produces:

18/11/2009 23:00:00,Ottawa, Canada (Ottawa International Airport),33.8,28,80,5,30.36,0, 0%,N/A, 10%,N/A, 60%,N/A, 20%,N/A, 10%,N/A, 0%,N/A, 0%,N/A, [FORECAST],Drizzle. There is a 10% chance of precipitation. Partly cloudy. Cool. Temperature of 46.69°F. Winds SE 7.25 mph. Humidity will be 100% with a dewpoint of 47° and feels-like temperature of 43°F.
19/11/2009 00:00:00,Ottawa, Canada (Ottawa International Airport),32,28,86,7,30.36,0, 0%,N/A, 10%,N/A, 60%,N/A, 20%,N/A, 10%,N/A, 0%,N/A, 0%,N/A, [FORECAST],Drizzle. There is a 10% chance of precipitation. Partly cloudy. Cool. Temperature of 46.69°F. Winds SE 7.25 mph. Humidity will be 100% with a dewpoint of 47° and feels-like temperature of 43°F.

The % for the two days is the same for each of the POP columns. I need help understanding what the columns refer to. Are they today, tomorrow, next day etc. or are they day 1 (Sunday), day 2 (Monday), or some other relative sequence.

I copied your template and output below with some additional color coding to help me explain. The blue values are the daily POP for today and the following 6 days. A total of 7 days are displayed because you set the count to 7.

The green text is the prediction for tomorrow. The daily loop is set to start at the 2nd day -- which would be tomorrow.

Does that help?

Thanks, Mike.

I see how that works. I am curious, however, about the values in the data I sent. For the 18th, the sequence is 0, 10, 60, 20... But, when the day rolls over at midnight, should the 19th not be 10, 60, 20,....

Alternatively, if I just want today and tomorrow, I could set the Loop as:

[DAILY LOOP START=1,COUNT=2][TEMPLATE][DAILY PRECIPITATION DAY],[DAILY PRECIPITATION NIGHT], [/TEMPLATE][/DAILY LOOP]

Is this correct?

The days that are printed out will match the days that appear in the "DAILY" section of the main Weather Watcher Live window. A loop starting at day 1 with a count of 2 will print out the first 2 days in the daily forecast.
