Just for the heck of it, try Balena Etcher to write the SD card. Don't have to unzip original file...

Hi Tony,
I've got several ver 1.1 RPi3A+ boards which were purchased several months
ago, they work fine. So, I'm baffled as to what's wrong. Also, I'm not
(so far?) getting any other reports of issues....
BTW, I certainly don't discount the possibility of some kind of hardware
change causing this, particularly since many fab houses are producing
boards.....It's just curious that there have been no other trouble
reports, so far.

Dave,
I tried 2 different computers now with three different MicroSD Cards and still nothing.?? I also updated the Pi's firmware to no avail.??
Could it be that I have a newer revision board (1.1)?

Yes, the update will be pushed out via the admin option #1.
My plan is to try to pull data from Accuweather, just like normal. If that
fails, fall back and try pulling from NOAA/NWS. I've got this working
now, still testing. The NOAA API is clunky and slow, so I'm working on
mitigating this. The good thing is the NOAA API methodology does work
consistantly, so far.
I'm still hoping Accuweather will fix whatever is intermittant with their
RSS delivery infrastructure.

David, I don?t believe it is said enough. Thank you for all you do. The development, assistance, and trouble shooting of software.
