The url to fetch the data is http://weather.noaa.gov/pub/data/observations/metar/stations/XXXX.txt where xxx is the ICAO 4-Letter code of the airport in uppercase. We simply rely on the NOAA data - if the return outdated METAR to our request, we are lost.
Currently I receive up-to-date METAR for LFST, so I assume a hickup on the noaa server.
