» Frequent Questions
Q. A link on the webpage is broken. Can you fix it?
A. Yes! Please e-mail the webmaster and describe the link and what page it is on. We appreciate the assistance!
Q. Some of the products on the webpage use abbreviations that I'm not familiar with. Is there any place I can go for clarification?
A. Yes! There is now a link to contractions on the left menu.
Q. Where can I go to find rainfall amounts for a certain area of town?
A. Daily rainfall totals can be found in our Regional Temperature and Precipitation Table, while monthly totals can be found in our Monthly Climate Summary, both on the Climate Page.
Q. Does the National Weather Service offer automatic severe weather alerts (via pager, e-mail, etc.)?
A. Not currently. The quickest and best way to receive watches and warnings from the National Weather Service is with a NOAA Weather Radio. You can be alerted to impending severe weather day or night, and you don't have to be near a computer. For more information, visit our NOAA Weather Radio Page. For warnings, watches, and advisories on the web, as well as weather safety tips, visit our Severe Weather Page.
Q. Is there a link available to listen to live NOAA Weather Radio on the internet?
A. Some National Weather Service offices have provided links to live NOAA Weather Radio, but this is usually provided by an agency outside of the NWS. This service is not presently available in the Jacksonville NOAA Weather Radio listening area.
Q. Is it possible to have the radar pages automatically refresh?
A. Not at this time. Our regional servers have limited bandwidth, and periodic refreshes from multiple users could bog down the system. However, feel free to hit the reload/refresh button on your browser. New radar images are typically available every 5 to 6 minutes.
Q. Why won't the radar loops work on my computer?
A. If your computer will not display radar loops, make sure your browser is set up to display Java. This can usually be found under the following:
Tools > Internet Options > Advanced on Explorer
Edit > Preferences > Advanced on Netscape
Q. Is it possible to get printer-friendly versions of products?
A. Yes! Click on "Printer-friendly version" above each text product. You can then print from your browser. If you wish to print a pop-up window, just click the "Print" icon in your new browser window.
Q. Is it possible to get previous versions of products?
A. Yes! Above each text product (to the upper right) are previous/next/latest version links. Up to 15 versions of each product may be accessed.
