SEO advice: possible to have 2+ url paths for one page?

Hi all,

I have a question about multiple URLs for the same page; this is relevant to a side project I’m working on. I’ll explain by way of example.

Let’s say I’m making a site for the weather by US state — let’s pick "Ohio" as a state people might either type in or use the acronym.

The search terms I’m seeing are `"weather ohio friday"` and `"weather oh friday"`. When I google those myself, I see slightly different results and I see that google has bolded the URL path, so I am assuming that the URL path counts towards SEO (if not, please correct me as that’s my whole premise here).

My little app uses the abbreviation in the URL path: `weather (slash) {abbreviation} (slash) {dayOfWeek}`. If you omit the day of the week, it will find the current day (let’s say today is Friday).

For the state name, my url path is `weather (slash) OH`, but it would be easy for me to set up a second url `weather (slash) ohio` and redirect to `OH`.

Also, for today, `weather (slash) OH` is the same as `weather (slash) OH (slash) friday`

So I want all these URLs to point to the same page:

- `weather (slash) OH`

- `weather (slash) OH (slash) friday`

- `weather (slash) ohio`

- `weather (slash) ohio (slash) friday`

Q1: Can I have a redirect from `"ohio"` pointing to `"OH"` and get indexed for both domains? I am assuming that having the full name of the state in the URL path is better for SEO when people type the full thing out, so really it looks like having two URLs for the same page.

Q2: IF I have a root URL that dynamically redirects based on the day of the week, does that have an impact on my SEO?
