weather can not get data ( http://weather.noaa.gov has been discontinued)

The NWS has taken the system that weather relies on offline, thus the text products will need to be recovered from some other URL and parsed.

After addressing all questions, comments and feedback, a

decision was made to terminate the service.

This legacy web site was launched over a decade ago to provide

accessibility to NWS weather products for the general public.

The WNG website will be decommissioned as part of the

NWSTG Re-Architecture project. The WNG web site is obsolete

because NWS weather.gov site is now the primary hub for NWS web

services and data products. A list of options available for

obtaining weather data normally found via the WNG URL is

provided below.
