I do recall the list you are talking about but have not seen it recently (years).

For the Saratoga template Ken made a nice script that uses maps to get the forecast and zone codes.  Can this get you what you need?

Sample from my site https://www.lakehuronweather.org/wxnwsinfomap.php using Kens script.

Perfect, I can use that, and you found it in a shape file too. I'll take a look at that GIS folder.

Many thanks!

Thank you, that's a clever script, and indeed it does the job. I couldn't find it on Ken's site though.
