Adapt GetAlerts endpoint to use the latest weather API spec

[vladnega]

Make the LLM pass the 2 letter abbreviation for the state (e.g. NY) when calling GetAlerts, instead of its full name.

Motivation and Context

The latest api.weather.gov API spec requires to pass a 2 letter identifier for the state when calling the /alerts/active/area/ endpoint. Passing the full state name no longer works.

How Has This Been Tested?

I called the MCP server from Claude Desktop, asking it the following:

1. get the weather for sacramento => this prompted it to call GetForecast endpoint
2. any alerts I should be aware of? => this prompted it to call GetAlerts endpoint
