No PFM found for MEZ025

[weather list]

I have fthe forecast extension installed, with NWS set up as:

[[NWS]]

        lid = MEZ025

        foid = GYX

WeeWx log reports:

Nov  1 22:05:18 raspberry-NUC62 weewx[27447] ERROR user.forecast: NWSThread: NWS: no PFM found for MEZ025 in forecast from GYX

And yet, this URL seems to return PFM data. Am I making an obvious (not to me) error here?

NWS: no PFM found for MEZ025 in forecast from GYX

Seems like a good error message to me.  MEZ025 is not where to be found on the page.

Did you mean MEZ024?

 lid = MEZ025

should be 

 lid = MEZ024

as there is no MEZ025 just like the error messages says.....just guessing.

MEZ024 is in that page twice with two different locations and elevations posted?   Perhaps the forecast office made a mistake and one is a typo.  You can go to very bottom of the page and send an e-mail to the NWS Internet Services Team to report that.

[Michael Bruski]

The URL you provided yields a number of duplicated LIDs each with different LAT/LONs and Elevations.  I see MEZ008, MEZ021, NHZ002, NHZ005, NHZ012 and NHZ015 listed twice.  NHZ011 is listed three times.  I didn't see any duplicates in the AFM from the same forecast office and MEZ025 is reported there.  If that is the location you want a forecast for, you may need to make a mod to your forecast.py in order to get that.  See my previous post about that mod.
