There's also "shortForecast": "Partly Sunny"

I don't know why you think it's deprecated? I don't see that anywhere. They just updated the icons in 2015, which for govt API work is practically yesterday :)

I think it's just that the specifications document, like basically all documentation is out-dated. There are many fields in the output that are not in the documented spec.

My weather needs just call directly to api.weather.gov and have done so reliably for a year or two now, whenever the last API I was using started charging or broke or whatever happened to it(I don't even remember what API it was at this point). So I have no need of your project, but I wish you lots of success!

They're deprecated under the "Specification" tab: the `/icons/...` endpoints in the endpoint list, and the `icon` field in the `GridpointForecast` schema. The `shortForecast` field is documented as `A brief textual forecast summary` and not exhaustively enumerated, so it's also technically not machine readable. If it's anything like the icons, there could potentially be 50+ of these. I really couldn't find anything resembling an overall conditions enum or code anywhere, but I'd be happy to be wrong.

In the meanwhile, I could try to get it working with nearly everything else and try to find a last minute hack for the icons.
