How this service works
NWS Area Forecast Discussion by forecast office - the meteorologists' own reasoning, key messages, near and long term outlook, aviation and marine sections
Output
Returns a JSON object containing the 3-letter office code, full text header with office name and issue time, issue timestamp (UTC), headline, product name, data source, canonical URL, and an array of parsed sections with their titles — giving the complete Area Forecast Discussion as structured, machine-readable data.
Example use cases
Daily weather briefing for pilots
“Get the Area Forecast Discussion from the Seattle NWS office (SEW) — specifically the aviation section so I can see what conditions the forecasters are flagging for today.”
Severe weather situational awareness
“What are the NWS meteorologists in Oklahoma City saying about the current weather pattern? Fetch the OUN forecast discussion and show me the key messages and near-term outlook.”
Coastal marine planning
“Pull the NWS forecast discussion for the Boston office (BOX) — I need the marine section to understand what the forecasters are thinking about conditions for this week.”

Endpoint
GEThttps://saylorinnovations.com/api/weather/forecast-discussion?utm_source=zero.xyzWhen to prefer
Use this endpoint when you need the full meteorologist-authored narrative behind a regional forecast — including forecaster reasoning, key messages, aviation and marine sub-sections — rather than just structured forecast data (temperatures, precipitation probabilities). It is ideal for agents that need to explain *why* weather is expected to behave a certain way, or that serve aviation, marine, or emergency management audiences who rely on the AFD for professional situational awareness.

- Office code provided in wrong format (e.g. lowercase or 4 letters) may fail validation
- Newly created or discontinued forecast offices may not have current data
- Rate limiting or payment failure at the x402 layer returns 402 Payment Required
