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. Walt On Saturday, July 9, 2022 at 2:08:58 PM UTC-5 jo...@johnkline.com wrote: > The newer api.weather.gov

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

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

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
