Have you tried adding restrictions on doy in the WHERE clause?
Something like this, I think:
WHERE ...
AND doy >= EXTRACT(doy FROM now() - '24 hour'::interval)
AND doy <= EXTRACT(doy FROM now())
Something else occurred to me: do you (or will you) have more than
one year of data? If so then matching on doy could be problematic
unless you also check for the year, or unless you want to match
more than one year.
