How exactly are these region classifications made? Because this might seem unimportant, but the state of Oklahoma is far closer to the center of the United States than Michigan. Just look at a map! Its ridiculous! These classifications of regions look like they need to be revised to a degree. Perhaps a new Northern region? And a better definition of what is in the central area of the United States. It looks like the divisions may have been taken from the US government itself. In that case, that area of the United States that some people refer to the as the Midwestern United States should not be referred to as the central United States, because a large portion of the Midwest is nowhere even close to the geographic center of the United States.
Modification 1: It looks like the divisions may have been taken from the US government itself. In that case, that area of the United States that some people refer to the as the Midwestern United States should not be referred to as the central United States, because a large portion of the Midwest is nowhere even close to the geographic center of the United States.
Modification 2: I understand that the government might be the group referring to the Midwest as being the central United States. In that case, this should be noted, because although the government might call Michigan part of the central United States does not actually make it so. I have reason to believe that the government has given these regions their names only for the sake of convenience. At the absolute least, please add a reference somewhere that mentions why these names were given, if possible. Sorry to rant, but I am just irritated because this is a case of simple geography. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dustin V. S. ( talk • contribs) 20:45, 26 September 2013 (UTC)
A template has been created based off of this article here: Template:List of National Weather Service Weather forecast offices It should be useful on the different forecast office pages. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dustin V. S. ( talk • contribs) 01:41, 14 October 2013 (UTC)
Does anyone mind telling me when all the websites moved from crh.noaa.gov to just weather.gov? I noticed this a good while ago, but I only now thought to ask. Dustin (talk) 20:34, 31 May 2015 (UTC)
Why don't all the local forecast offices have articles? None are inherently more or less notable than the rest. -- Bigpoliticsfan ( talk) 18:39, 1 September 2018 (UTC)
That is true, however it may be more efficient to have a separate article or a list within -this- one which lists notable historical events of each WFO. For example, the "scandal" surrounding KOKX (Upton, NY) intentionally choosing not to downgrade a snowfall forecast because they believed the public would ignore the hazards.

May it be wise to add some information about WFO abbreviations where the origin of the abbreviation isn't clearly obvious? For example, anyway, KOKX in Upton, New York which covers Southern (half of) Connecticut Counties, New York City - Not sure how/where they arrived at "OKX". Anyway, not a big deal but thought I'd bring it up. Psx1337 ( talk) 19:01, 14 February 2020 (UTC)
Weather Forecast Office is a proper noun that the National Weather Service applies to its local normal offices User:Liz. The article title being changed to the current one a couple months ago when nobody was paying attention was improper as is. If anything, that is what should have had a discussion. The current title, though, neither tries to do all lower case nor uses the NWS standard capitalization so it's some weird middle ground that nobody uses...
