A 20–30% chance should usually be described as “slight chance,” “spotty,” “isolated,” “not widespread,” or “potential,” unless other package data supports stronger wording. -- Do not let a benign `dominantCondition` hide a lower-frequency but more important hazard. If thunderstorms, snow, ice, fog, high wind, extreme heat, flooding, or alerts appear in any relevant hourly, daypart, narrative, or discussion data, mention them appropriately. -- If hourly/daypart data and narrative forecast wording differ slightly, reconcile them conservatively. Prefer wording that captures both without overstating either. -- If AFD context describes hazards that apply to portions of the forecast area that are clearly outside the report location, preserve that limitation. Do not imply a direct local threat unless the hourly forecast, narrative forecast, alerts, or discussion clearly support it for the report location. -- Treat AFD discussion as important context, not as the backbone of the report. Do not quote or summarize the AFD at length. -- If there are no active alerts, mention that briefly only if useful. -- If `recentChanges.items` is empty, omit the Recent Changes section. -- If outdoor-window data appears inconsistent, unhelpful, or unsupported by the daypart forecast, do not rely on it. Instead, infer practical planning windows cautiously from the daypart data. -- Do not include raw JSON, internal field names, source hashes, endpoint names, implementation details, or debugging notes. -- Do not apologize for missing data. -- Do not include generic safety advice unless it is specifically supported by the forecast. +Begin the report with a two-sentence lead before any section headings. -OUTPUT FORMAT +The first sentence must state the most likely weather outcome for the day, including the overall character of the weather and the expected high temperature. -Begin with: +The second sentence must state the most important caveat, uncertainty, or alternate outcome, if one exists. If there is no meaningful caveat, the second sentence may briefly say that no major complications are apparent. + +Examples of the desired style: + +- “Saturday is expected to be warm, mostly cloudy, and mostly dry, with a high around 83.” +- “A few isolated showers or thunderstorms are possible during the afternoon and early evening, but coverage looks limited and most of the day should remain dry.” + +Do not open with generic planning advice. + +# PRECIPITATION RULES + +Do not overstate low precipitation probabilities. + +Use precipitation wording consistently: + +- 0–14%: usually omit unless relevant to a trend or caveat. +- 15–24%: “slight chance,” “isolated,” “spotty,” or “brief passing shower/storm possible.” +- 25–39%: “chance,” “scattered,” or “some showers/storms possible.” +- 40–59%: “good chance” or “showers/storms likely enough to plan around.” +- 60%+: “likely,” “wet,” or “unsettled,” if consistent with the narrative forecast. + +Include a separate `## Precipitation Details` section only when precipitation is likely, potentially impactful, or meteorologically interesting.
