How to Create Static Links (URLs) to RMC Forecast Points?

RMC utilizes dynamic links to forecast pages for each point on the RMC system. We have been asked to provide static URLs that would allow users to bookmark selected RMC points or link them to user-supported web sites. We've created a solution!

To access current forecast for any point on the RMC system, use the following link:

http://fireweather.sc.egov.usda.gov/point.php?usr=USERID&name=NAME

where USERID is your RMC User ID, and NAME is the name of the forecast point as registered on the RMC system. This is the name (appearing in capital letters) in the title a point forecast page when you retrieve information through the RMC 'Point Forecast' web interface. For example, in this point forecast title

USFS RMC Forecast for LOVELAND 40.4N; 105.1W

NAME = LOVELAND. However, in this title:

USFS RMC Forecast for KPUB (PUEBLO) 38.2833N; 104.5W

NAME = KPUB.
