Weather 1 Day Off about clouds HOT 4 CLOSED

In case it helps, when I looked last night, it was showing “TODAY” as Saturday (last night was Friday). When I looked this morning, it was still showing “TODAY” as Saturday, which is now correct.

Update: The issue seems to be gone this morning, so it looks like the issue might only occur when it is late at night.

Hey @williamlauzon, thanks for flagging this. This is actually partly due to the data returned from Environment Canada (the WeatherCAN app uses a private internal EC API and not the MSC Datamart as Clouds/Nimbus use, so the private API may already have this fixed). In rare occasions, the days returned from the Datamart are mislabelled and are offset by 1 day, or the "tonight" nighttime forecast is missing (usually late at night). There is also, unfortunately, no good way of parsing the data since only weekday names are used in the raw data as opposed to timestamps.

That being said, the actual logic to parse the dates occurs in lfroms/nimbus, so I'll create a corresponding issue there. I'll keep an eye out for the next occurrence and confirm the logic.

Hi @lfroms, thanks so much for the quick reply! I really appreciate you looking in to this and the effort you've put into making this great app! It's too bad that the issue is on the MSC Datamart side, but hopefully it will be fixed by them at some point. Again, thank you for your work!
