Input schema
| Property | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| lat | number | yes | Latitude in decimal degrees (WGS84). Rounded to 4 decimal places before the National Weather Service lookup. |
| lon | number | yes | Longitude in decimal degrees (WGS84). Rounded to 4 decimal places before the National Weather Service lookup. |
| hourly | boolean | no | Return hourly periods instead of the default 12-hour day/night periods. Hourly periods have no name and, at detail=full, carry dewpoint and humidity. |
| period_limit | integer | no | Maximum number of 12-hour day/night periods to return, soonest first. Applies when hourly is false; use hours for hourly forecasts. NWS issues 14 periods (7 days); the default of 6 is three days. Named period_limit, not periods, because periods is the returned series. |
| hours | integer | no | Number of hourly periods to return, soonest first. Applies when hourly is true; use period_limit for day/night forecasts. |
| detail | string | no | compact (default) returns the fields an agent acts on. full adds the NWS narrative (detailed_forecast), the icon URL, the trend note and, for hourly periods, dewpoint_c and humidity_pct. |
