A look at local web happenings in Tacoma, Pierce County and South Puget Sound

The service provider for our weather forecasts is experiencing some serious technical issues, which has interrupted our ability to provide weather information on thenewstribune.com. I'm told by my contact at Weather Underground that they are working on the problem and hope for a fix very soon.

If you are technically inclined and curious, here's what happened:

In the middle of the afternoon today (Tuesday) a technician at Network
Solutions corrupted the DNS NS records for wunderground.com. As a
result, all name lookups to wunderground.com point to a server that knows nothing about wunderground.com, thus resulting in the Network Solutions marketing page. They understand that they caused the problem and have engineers trying to work around the issue.

UPDATE (1:45 p.m.): The service has been restored.
