Boris,
After a reorganization of the NWS, some offices were given new identifiers.
KTUR and KATR were the old RFC identifiers for Tulsa and Peachtree City.
KALR and KTUA should be the current assignments for those 2 RFCs. If you
could point me to any specific products, I'll bring it to the offending
office's attention.
