NWS (USA) point forcast link

Some of you may already know that there’s a formula to open up the USA national weather service forcast to a GPS point. However that formula appears to be getting a change at the end of April 2024, due to the NWS moving to new infrastructure. They are testing the new setup today, and I have confirmed the new method works with Kustom with a slight adjustment.

Old formula (prior to May 2024, remove spaces)

https: //mobile. weather. gov/index.php?lat=$li(lat)$&lon=$li(lon)$

New Formula, May 2024+ (remove spaces)

https: //forecast. weather. gov/MapClick.php?lat=$li(lat)$&lon=$li(lon)$

Hope this helps!

Thanks for sharing this important update regarding the change in the National Weather Service (NWS) forecast URL formula. It’s helpful to know that the old URL will no longer function after April 2024 due to infrastructure upgrades.
