With the release of our 2017 trail map for the Gap, we decided to go in a new direction for our weather station. Our stations for the <a href=\"https:\/\/outrageGIS.com\/weather\/dbnf\">Daniel Boone<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/outrageGIS.com\/weather\/grsm\">Great Smokies<\/a> pull data and images from the National Weather Service. We then use ImageMagick and other UNIX\u00c2\u00a0utilities to\u00c2\u00a0process the data. It is kinda old-school, but it has worked well for years.<\/p>\n<p>With the Gap weather station, we decided to go with the\u00c2\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/darksky.net\/about\/\">Dark Sky team<\/a>. They made a big impact a few years ago with their weather maps so we decided to try their\u00c2\u00a0extremely detailed point location forecast data.Their API is well documented and we use mostly Javascript to build the weather page. We focused on weather conditions at the top of the\u00c2\u00a0mountain since the park has over 2000 vertical feet of elevation relief. We couldn&#8217;t the same detail from the NWS. As we explore the mountains we&#8217;ll compare the relative advantages of both of these data sources.<\/p>\n<p>You can find the mountain top weather page here: <a href=\"https:\/\/outrageGIS.com\/weather\/gap\">https:\/\/outrageGIS.com\/weather\/gap<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We&#8217;ve updated our Cumberland Gap National Historical Park weather station!
