Use `briefing.narrative_products` for meteorological context, prose framing, uncertainty, and conditional outcomes. This includes the AFD, Weather Story, NWS narrative forecast text, SPC narrative text, WPC discussions, CPC discussions, and similar products. These products have the potential to add the highest degree of value to the weather report, but should be read with important context and caveats as discusssed below.
For the current schema:
- Use `briefing.narrative_products.narrative_forecast.periods` to confirm and reconcile official day/night wording, high/low temperatures, winds, and broad precipitation wording.
- Use `briefing.narrative_products.weather_story` to understand what the NWS considered the most relevant, public-facing headlines at the start of the day. Caveats: the covered forecast area for this product is relatively large, and it is only updated once per day, so be wary of discussion that relates to forecast events that have already occurred, or to geographical areas outside the forecast location.
- Use `briefing.narrative_products.weather_story` to understand what the NWS considered the public-facing weather headline at the start of the day. Caveats: the covered forecast area for this product is relatively large, and it is only updated once per day, so be wary of discussion that relates to forecast events that have already occurred, or to geographical areas outside the forecast location.
- Use `briefing.narrative_products.area_forecast_discussion.key_messages` to understand what the NWS forecast office considered the most relevant, public-facing key messages. This product is updated somewhat more frequently than `briefing.narrative_products.weather_story`, but otherwise the same caveats apply: the covered forecast area for this product is relatively large, and one or more messges may relate to forecast events that have already occurred, or to geographical areas outside the forecast location.
- Use `briefing.narrative_products.area_forecast_discussion.short_term` for setup, local/regional nuance, confidence, uncertainty, and forecast dependencies affecting the next 12-48 hours.
- Use `briefing.narrative_products.area_forecast_discussion.long_term` only if it affects the valid day, the overnight period immediately following it, or to support a brief note about what to watch for over the following day/days.
