NEW: The National Weather Service, and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, will be required to refer to "Lake America" in all forecast products.
The agency, which falls under the Department of Commerce, is bound by Executive Order 14422.
As such, the Weather Service now needs to adjust its software, and mapping interfaces, to modify Lake Ontario's moniker to Lake America for at least the next 861 days.
The National Weather Service states that "work is underway to update naming conventions as quickly as possible."
