Why can't the FS Specialist use the same resources I would have to
use to figure it out?

He can and he will.


Actually, in this case it was "He would, but he couldn't."

I am very familiar with how this all works. I was also drowning in the
rain and the WX-BRIEF number was what I had handy. I have used this
before, from half-way across the country. I have never had any trouble
with them simply forwarding the closure.

The fact that FSS maintains a single 800 number for use countrywide leads to the
expectation that we are dealing with a monolithic FSS. I would guess that was
the image somebody wanted to project when they decided to provide a single
access number. That is, of course, the way it "should" work, anyway.
