Keshab,

In that case you'll want to keep the foreach loop and use the state 
abbreviation in your file name, example shown below


#!/bin/csh

# Get UTC hour and add zeros
set hour=`date -u "+%H"`
set hour="${hour}00"

# Loop through states and get METAR data
foreach state (al ak as az ar ca co ct de dc fm fl ga gu hi id il in ia
ks ky la me mh)

sflist<< SFLIST_FLAG
sffile=metar
area=@$state
dattim=$hour
sfparm=text
output=f/metar_text_${state}.txt
idntyp=stid

run

exit

SFLIST_FLAG

end
