Forecast entry
The local forecast entry offers two options. If you specify an airport name, and hit "Go", it will take you to an aviation specific forecast page for that airport. The aviation forecast page contains pertinent information along with the latest METAR, TAF and aviation forecast discussion from the WFO.
The airport can be entered with its 3 letter IATA identifier, its 4 letter ICAO identifier or by the name of the city and airport. If you type in a city such as "Atlanta", a drop-down box with airports in Atlanta will show up. By selecting one of them, the resulting forecast will be the aviation forecast.
If you don't select an airport, as in typing in "Atlanta" and hitting "Go", the page will be redirected to the forecast.weather.gov forecast for that city. Also, typing in a zip code will also forward you to the forecast.weather.gov site.
