Updated NWS stations list

In weather module builds the development timeframe, the module’s internal nwsStationsList.xml file was updated at build time, replacing the file used in the initial release. Each updated file reflects new weather stations brought online by the NWS, as well as others that were subsequently dropped. The NWS list currently contains about 2550 available stations. Additional information has been added to provide for weather advisories.

In the stations list, in addition to U.S. states there are entries for a few U.S. territories and several island countries. In order of locale code, these include Antigua (AG), American Samoa (AS), Aruba (AW), Barbados (BB), Bermuda (BH), Dominica (DM), Fiji (FJ), Micronesia (FM), Granada (GD), Guam (GU), Kiribati (KB), Niue (KU), Saint Lucia (LU), Marshall Islands (MH), Martinique (MQ), Mexico, Cancun (MX), New Caledonia (NL), French Polynesia (PF), Puerto Rico (PR), Palau (PW), Tonga (TO), Trinidad and Tobago (TT), Tuvalu (TV), Saint Vincent (VC), Virgin Islands, British (VG), Virgin Islands, U.S. (VI), and Samoa (WS).

As an updated weather module (with newer stations list) becomes available for any Niagara release, it is recommended to obtain it and install it in any host running a station using the WeatherService.
