Re: [weewx-user] Re: National Weather Service location IDs

[MIchael Cumbee]

I finally found one that works but same as another user pointed out the 
only one I can get the extension to pull a forecast from is the Airport, 
there are actually about 12 point forecasts available but it will not 
download the others. The 6 digit ID that you need is on the forecasts, for 
instance mine is SCZ027 which is the Airport in Columbia SC. The reports 
refer to Columbia as KCAE the CAE is the part that you use for the FOID.  
My initial confusion was I was looking for a table/list of location IDs to 
use and they dont seem to refer to it that way anymore

Very neat, John/Chauncey!  I think I was aware of your extension at some 
point, I have your website bookmarked as a really good model.
 But I don't see your extension listed in the wiki.

Re: [weewx-user] Re: National Weather Service location IDs

[MikeQ]

I dug through the NWS forecast page generated by lat/lon and there is an 
option to generate a tabular output, but that is not in PFM format.  So, it 
looks like your are stuck with the classic PFM locations for now.

[weewx-user] Re: National Weather Service location IDs

[wfs...@gmail.com]

Yes, Mike I think you're right.  The weewx forecasting extension looks to 
be scraping those PFM reports for its data, so you can only choose from 
those zones where a PFM is generated.
The newer api.weather.gov can return a lot of detailed forecast information 
for quite specific locations using gridpoints, but that's not integrated 
into weewx AFAIK.

[weewx-user] Re: National Weather Service location IDs

[MikeQ]

Does someone here understand how the NWS generates a forecast for a 
specific location?  I used the API link above and it says my forecast zone 
is IDZ033.  When I put this in weewx I get the following error:

Jul  8 09:30:20 weatherpi weewxd: forecast: NWSThread: NWS: no PFM found 
for IDZ033 in forecast from BOI
Jul  8 09:30:20 weatherpi weewxd: forecast: NWSThread: NWS: terminating 
thread

If I go to the PFM link above, there are only 5 PFMs for the BOI forecast 
office all located at airports.  If I go to weather.gov, put in my zip 
code, and click on the map, it puts my lat/lon in URL and generates a 
forecast for that location.  The forecast for the closest PFM, which is 
over 90 miles away, is different than the one generated on the forecast web 
page.  I would like the more accurate forecast, but it doesn't look like 
the forecast module in weewx supports anything other than PFMs?

[wfs...@gmail.com]

if you plug your lat and lon into the weather.gov api, a la
https://api.weather.gov/points/39.7832,-89.6644
you'll get a bunch of info back that might contain what you're looking 
for.  I'm not familiar with the terms LID and FOID
In my case it tells me
my forecast office is ILX
my grid coordinates are 46,54
my forecast zone is ILZ051
my county zone is ILC167
my fire weather zone is ILZ051

I might add there's a map for the forecast offices (FOID) too.
https://www.weather.gov/srh/nwsoffices

Just look at the URL it uses when you click on the map.
