the weewx forecasting extension uses only one URL for NWS - the URL for 
point forecast matrices in plain text format:

http://forecast.weather.gov/product.php?site=NWS&product=PFM&format=txt&issuedby=XXX

where XXX is the forecast office identifier, such as BOX for Boston.  the 
v3 equivalent is:

https://forecast-v3.weather.gov/products/PFM/XXX/1?format=text

if you are using any version of the forecasting extension, you can try the 
NWS v3 servers by doing this in weewx.conf:

[Forecast]
[[NWS]]
...
url = https://forecast-v3.weather.gov/products/PFM/XXX/1?format=text

the v3 servers have been available since early november 2016.  i think they 
are supposed to go live in january 2017.  if you keep using the old URLs 
they should redirect to the new api, at least for awhile.

luckily the forecast extension needs only a change to the nws url, as nws 
will continue to provide the text forecast product.

once the json api stabilizes (and the nws servers respond consistently) it 
will be interesting to add other nws forecast options in addition to the 
point forecasts.
