We grid our service area with 6000 points across the US. There is 1 point in Missouri that fails forecast and anything historical (currentWeather, forecastHourly, and forecastDaily) with a 404 error:

latitude = 37.06089340391355
longitude = -93.00383141966712

This works:

latitude = 37.06089340391355
longitude = -93.006

This does NOT work:

latitude = 37.06089340391355
longitude = -93.005

Even though all of the other points seem to be working, I have lack in trust for this API for returning unexpected results.

Can someone please provide an explanation or resolution?

We are seeing a similar issue that started on January 2nd around 7:28 PM Central. We are getting a 404 back for forecast on a small amount of locations.

Is there a faster way to receive support here? This does not seem to be helpful.

It looks like the problem of certain locations not returning data has been fixed. I tried each of locations cited here

latitude = 37.06089340391355
longitude = -93.00383141966712

and

latitude = 37.06089340391355
longitude = -93.005

and I get a valid Weather response back from WeatherKit.
