They are migrating the api to a new domain and browning out the old one to get folks to switch over and figure out if there are any issues. There is also another infrastructure change going on as well.
Normally those would be posted on https://www.weather.gov/notification/ but that’s having hiccups, but the email list for announcements still works.
For as much improvement as there has been with what can be distributed via PyPI, there are still some domains that have gnarlier dependencies than wheels happily handle alone, and you either need to reach for the system package manager (and loose the ability to really control the dependency environment from that mismatch), or take advantage of the Conda ecosystem.
My org does a lot of work combining machine learning with oceanographic and climate modeling, which are both domains that have deep dependency chains that don't always mesh well, especially as our researchers mix in R and other languages as the same time, and the Conda ecosystem helps us a ton with that, but there are issues that `conda` and `mamba` don't help us out with.
Pixi takes a swing at some of what the Conda ecosystem hasn't been great at (at least without a lot of manual custom ceremony) that Cargo, Poetry, Pipenv, PDM, and other dependency and workflow management tools have demonstrated can be done such as lock files, cross platform dependency management, task running, and defining multiple related environments.
Have you tried https://pixi.sh/ ? It brings Cargo/NPM/Poetry like commands and lock files to the Conda ecosystem, and now can manage and lock PyPI dependencies alongside by using uv under the hood.
I haven't been using anything CUDA, but the scientific geospatial stack is often a similar mess to install, and it's been handling it really well.
