What is the correct regex to search for a specific pattern in these strings?

So I have one big file containing a bunch of weather data. I have to highlight each line from a large file into a corresponding state file. This will create a total of 50 new state files with their own data.

The large file contains about 1 million lines of entries like this:

COOP:166657,'NEW IBERIA AIRPORT ACADIANA REGIONAL LA US',200001,177,553

      

        
        
        
      

    

Although the name of the station can change and have a different number of words.

This is the regex I'm using:

Pattern p = Pattern.compile(".* ([A-Z][A-Z]) US.*"); 
Matcher m = p.matcher(line);

      

        
        
        
      

    

When I run my program, there are still instances of strings where the pattern cannot be found.

This is my program:

package climate;

import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.File;
import java.io.FileReader;
import java.io.FileWriter;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.util.Arrays;
import java.util.Scanner;
import java.util.regex.Matcher;
import java.util.regex.Pattern;

/**
 * This program will read in a large file containing many stations and states,
 * and output in order the stations to their corresponding state file.
 * 
 * Note: This take a long time depending on processor. It also appends data to
 * the files so you must remove all the state files in the current directory
 * before running for accuracy.
