Initial Comment:
Does anyone know why the data is running 4-5 hours or 
more behind, or if it's going to be fixed? The METAR 
you get at http://weather.noaa.gov/weather/metar.shtml 
is hours older than what they show at 
http://adds.aviationweather.gov/metars/

I noticed this too. I guess NOAA is not being updated with
the latest METAR soon enough - but it does get it eventually. 

Anyway I looked around for another source of METARs and
considered aviationweather but in the end went for Wyoming
University http://weather.uwyo.edu/

I have made some modification to data_retrieval.php to get
the more recent METAR from one of their pages. I would
attached it here if I knew how.
