Expert forecaster text products. type=afd: Area Forecast Discussion. type=hwo: Hazardous Weather Outlook. type=now: WFO short-term NOW. type=fwf/hls/esf: local fire weather / hurricane local statement / hydrologic discussion. type=mcd: SPC Mesoscale Discussion. type=mpd: WPC Mesoscale Precipitation Discussion (flash flood). type=swo/fwd/ero: national outlook discussions. type=tcd/tcp/tcm/twd/two: NHC tropical text (type=two is the text TWO, not GIS nhc_two). type=pmd: WPC/CPC desk discussion (pass awips_id for a specific desk, e.g. PMDSPD). type=pwo: SPC public weather outlook. National types (swo/fwd/ero/tcd/tcp/tcm/twd/two/pmd/pwo) need no location; day selects the outlook day for swo and fwd. summary_only=true returns the pipeline LLM summary without the full body. Examples: {"location": "Des Moines", "type": "afd"} or {"type": "swo", "day": 2, "summary_only": true}.
Input schema
| Property | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| location | string | no | Free-text place: city ("Denver"), city+state ("Portland, OR"), US ZIP ("50219"), or "lat,lon" ("39.74,-104.99"). Provide either this OR explicit lat+lon, not both. |
| lat | number | no | Latitude in decimal degrees (-90 to 90). Most tools also accept a `location` place-name string instead of lat/lon. |
| lon | number | no | Longitude in decimal degrees (-180 to 180). For continental US use negative values (west of the prime meridian). |
| type | string | yes | Product type: afd (WFO discussion), hwo (hazard outlook), now (short-term NOW), fwf/hls/esf (local WFO), mcd (SPC mesoscale), mpd (WPC precipitation discussion), swo (SPC convective outlook), fwd (SPC fire weather), ero (WPC excessive rainfall), tcd/tcp/tcm/twd/two (NHC tropical text; two is text TWO not GIS), pmd (desk discussion), pwo (SPC public outlook). |
| day | integer | no | Outlook day for type=swo or type=fwd (1-8). Ignored for the other types; WPC files ERO days 1-3 under one product. |
| awips_id | string | no | Full AWIPS identifier (e.g. TCDAT1, PMDSPD). More specific than type + location. Exact source_ref match. |
| wfo | string | no | WFO identifier override (e.g. BOU). Default: resolved from the location. |
| limit | integer | no | Number of recent products (1-10). Default 1 (latest). |
| summary_only | boolean | no | Return only the LLM summary + sections, omitting the full body text. |
