NWS Implementing Forecast zone changes on 19-Mar-2025
« on: March 17, 2025, 07:36:49 PM »
I'll be releasing a updated nws-all-zones-inc.php for nws-alerts.php script on the 19th.

Check these areas for zone updates:

SCN24-70 Updated: Anchorage, AK Public and Fire Forecast Zones
SCN24-116: Boulder, CO Partial County
SCN24-117: Twin Cities, MN Partial County
SCN24-118: San Diego, CA Marine Forecast Zones
SCN24-119: Fairbanks, AK Public and Fire Forecast Zones
SCN24-110: Juneau, AK Public and Fire Forecast Zones
SCN24-68 Updated: Pendleton, OR Fire Forecast Zones
SCN24-69 Updated: Seattle, WA Public Forecast Zones
SCN24-112: Boise, ID Fire Forecast Zones
SCN24-114: Jacksonville, FL Public and Fire Forecast Zones
SCN24-115 Updated: Tallahassee, FL Public and Fire, Marine Forecast Zones
SCN24-111: Tallahassee, FL Marine Forecast Zones
SCN24-113: Baltimore, MD/Washington, DC Public and Fire Forecast Zones

Check the specifics for a location by looking up the SCN at https://www.weather.gov/notification/
If your area has new zones, you'll likely need to update your Settings.php with the new zone codes for your area in both alerts and forecasts.

I've pushed the nws-all-zones-inc.php V1.05 to the distribution (both the update tool and GitHub) with the new zone changes.
It is used by nws-alerts (detail display map) script set.
