Weather.gov forecast status in Weather module

[ankonaskiff17]

Just wondering what the status of the default Weather module is in regards to FORECAST when using provider weather.gov
I’m using it twice, once for current and once for forecast.
A while back I messed with this module and struggled with forecast but today forecast doing its thing, admittedly with a shot in the dark tweak I used off of the National Weather Service website where they talk about the API.

@sdetweil Just wanted to pass on that have two iterations of the default weather module running. One for “current” and one for forecast using weathergov as my data source. Appears I can do away with weatherEndpoint on both with no ill effects.

There is a NWS API Page that runs through an example. Follow example using the appropriate gps coordinates for your location. In my screen capture you see /gridpoints/CAE/70,67/forecast/hourly which relates to my local NWS radar at CAE which is local airport. I do not think this will work for people trying to get finer resolution via someone’s weather station who is uploading their data to a 3rd party provider.

I have seen the CURRENT forecast drop out infrequently but it has always come back on its own.

Daily forecast.

@sdetweil I added some text and link to API page to better describe and locate the NWS API example. People should be better able to understand how to make that work.
