Hey, they fixed it!

weatherchannel

I sent an email to the Weather Channel back on March 17, pointing out that the regional observations list in my Local on the 8s included Blytheville and Eaker AFB.

I noted that Eaker AFB ceased to be a U.S. Air Force installation in December, 1992. It's now a civilian airport. Most of the time, it was listed as having "no report." It's also at Blytheville, which makes its data mostly irrelevant.

I got an email reply within 24 hours and a couple of days later I noticed that Eaker AFB was gone and there was a new listing for "Arkansas Intl"  for its current incarnation as Arkansas International Airport.

Thanks, Weather Channel!
