Throughout our flight around SoCal today, we didn't receive (or the system was unable to display) airport TAFs or METARs or winds when selecting WX for any airport in the region. Flight was 2 segments, each over an hour.

Is this a bug, a setting, or an outage of some kind?
 
Saw the same thing in Northern Arizona on April first in the morning and early afternoon. Since resolved.
 
METARS not working on my Skyview the last few flights. Only thing changed is the latest database update. Went back to the previous database And no change. Didn’t change anything else. I fly around the Daytona Beach area. Any ideas?
 
I saw the same thing this morning flying from Atlanta to Nashville. It was a problem with the FAA side of the system. All traffic was showing correctly on both of my systems (Skyview ADSB 472 and Echo UAT providing GDL 90 data) and neither showed any METARS/TAF or winds at fields. Verified good data streams from both units. Radar data was present and the missing data was all text. Started working later today. Sounds like the FAA should have issued an informational notice. My guess is they were working on something on their end.

Thank you.
 
Been having the same issue today. Flew in the morning and afternoon. North Florida area. I am getting the radar, but no METAR/TAF info.
 
Long cross country flight today, Virginia to Lousiana. No METAR or TAF for 90% of the flight. Some data finally in then it goes away again. ATC had no clue as to cause.
