Old Data returned in JSON for a call to https://api.weather.gov/gridpoints/RAH/43,69/forecast

[gmstuff]

Hi - I hope its me just doing something wrong. But...
I have some python code that pulls data from api.weather.gov that the JSON returned is 3 days old.

My question is : Why is data from 3 days ago being returned in the JSON? Or am I doing something wrong? Please :-)

My code pulls from this URL https://api.weather.gov/gridpoints/RAH/43,69/forecast
and then parses the JSON.
However the data appears to contain data from 3 days ago.

Below is the code pulled out of the larger script. The results are printed to the screen in the Try/Except block. The results (shown below for the UPDATED value is 09/21/2020 whereas the date today is 09/24/2020. I have noticed this for the past few days and tried multiple debug bits of code to zero in on the issue to no avail

** attached showing the returned JSON the system date/time and the returned data if using a browser from the same machine.
Attached is also the output of the JSON printed to screen

The code snippet below could be used to reproduce
I was expecting the data returned in the JSON to be pretty much the same as if I navigate using a browser to the same URL

Code snippet
URLHeaders = {
"Cache-Control":"no-cache",
"Pragma": "no-cache"
}
#URLHEaders tried adding URLHeaders as I am getting an old version of the JSON data from weather.gov in the initial request

    url = "https://api.weather.gov/gridpoints/RAH/43,69/forecast"
    print("URL to pull <" + url + ">")
    try:
        response = requests.get(url, headers=Win.URLHeaders)
        GetRawWeatherDataStatus = "Pass"

        gdt, gtm, ldt, ltm = self.GetDateTime()
        gdt = gdt[0:4] + '/' + gdt[4:6] + '/' + gdt[6:8]
        gtm = gtm[0:2] + ':' + gtm[2:4] + ':' + gtm[4:6] + ' Z'  
        ldt = ldt[0:4] + '/' + ldt[4:6] + '/' + ldt[6:8]
        ltm = ltm[0:2] + ':' + ltm[2:4] + ':' + ltm[4:6]
        print("URL Pulled @ " + str(ldt) + " " + str(ltm))
        print (response)
        
                                
        
    except Exception as ex:
        print("Exception <" + str(ex) + ">")
        if (str(ex).find("NewConnectionError") != -1):
            print ("response = requests.get(url, headers=Win.URLHeaders)  " + url)
            GetRawWeatherDataStatus ="Fail"
            return

***** end of code snippet

Printed returned JSON snippet showing hte data is updated 09/21/2020 - which is 3 days ago.
