Probably it is a NOAA's (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) response to problems outlined in this article: Weather Service Internet systems are crumbling as key platforms are taxed and failing.
HTTP(S) requests to weather.gov servers made from Android apps (that are using default User-Agent header) are failing with error code - 403 Forbidden. Not sure exactly since when, and not sure what User-Agent headers are blocked, in my case it was a testing device with:
"Dalvik/2.1.0 (Linux; U; Android 5.0.2; Android SDK built for x86_64 Build/LSY66K)"
The solution is pretty simple, you have to make request with User-Agent header set as described in this Stack Overflow answer.
