There's currently 2 that serve Massachusetts, Blue Hill and Taunton.

Blue Hill I dont think had any forecast responsibilities

Blue Hill used to but not anymore most of the forecasts come from Taunton.

Was Blue Hill the one that operated the Worcester radar, issued warnings for Worcester, or was Blue Hill and Worcester two separate offices??

Nope. Blue Hill is a weather observatory. However, the NWS in Albany, New York (ALY) serves Berkshire County.

Blue Hill is a county over from Taunton, and a few miles south of Boston...

I've always been served by the NWS at Taunton, Massachusetts, (BOX) in Boston pre-modernization, but have lived a town away from the Gray, Maine (GYX) area my entire life.

Thanks NBC Comcast for driving me away from TWC. You've officially made TWC junk, NBC Comcast.

New Orleans/Baton Rouge in Slidell, LA.

The New Orleans and Baton Rouge offices were consolidated in the 90s (the New Orleans office used to be at New Orleans Int'l Airport and moved to Slidell in '79;  the Baton Rouge office was at Ryan Field).

At one point, the New Orleans office served Arkansas, Tennessee, Mississippi, Alabama and the Florida Panhandle.

I think the NO office served all of thosenstates was back in the Weather Bureau days, which was pre-1970.

In addition to KDTX (Detroit/Pontiac) serving SE Michigan, there's also 3 other NWS offices in Michigan:

KGRR (Grand Rapids, MI) serving *most* of SW Michigan
KAPX (Gaylord, MI) serving the Northern Lower Peninsula of MI.
KMQT (Marquette, MI) serving the Upper Peninsula of MI.

Also, KIWX (Northern Indiana) serves the southern-most tier of counties in southwest Michigan from Berrien County (the Benton Harbor area) to Hillsdale County.

Mine used to be Dayton (KDAY) until the newer Doppler radar arrived in Wilmington (KILN) in the '90s.  It serves southwest and west-central Ohio, northern Kentucky and extreme east-central and southeastern Indiana.
