get_storm_outlook
Retrieve a severe-weather outlook for a location, including peak wind gusts and thunderstorm timing from high-resolution forecasts.
Instructions
Get the severe-weather outlook for a location: gusts and thunderstorms.
Reports the peak wind gust within the next hour and the next 12 hours,
whether a thunderstorm is expected within the next hour, when the next
thunderstorm is expected across the whole forecast horizon, and the peak
CAPE over the next 12 hours as a diagnostic. Deliberately reports no
severity verdict — what counts as dangerous is the caller's judgement.
An hour counts as a thunderstorm when GeoSphere's weather symbol for it is
a thunderstorm, or when the C-LAEF ensemble's 90th percentiles reach
1000 J/kg CAPE and 0.1 mm precipitation (only from an ensemble run less
than 12 h old). Each thunderstorm answer names its signal: symbol,
ensemble or both. CAPE does not decide anything on its own.
High-resolution GeoSphere AROME data (1 km) and the C-LAEF ensemble. Serves
Austria and the Alpine region only; a point outside that grid returns an
out-of-coverage notice.
The thunderstorm scan covers the forecast horizon, nominally ~60 h but
shorter after publication lag or when a run is stale or truncated. A "none
in the next N h" answer names the horizon it actually covered; it is not
an all-clear beyond that. "Thunderstorm expected" is unknown only when no
forecast hour falls in its window.
Horizons round up to whole hours: the "next hour" window covers the hour
already under way plus the next one. A thunderstorm timestamp at or before
the current time means one is already in progress.
Args:
latitude: Decimal latitude (e.g. 48.2208 for Vienna). Geocode city
names to coordinates yourself.
