Resolve coordinates to a human-readable place (city, state, county, timezone).

Active NWS watches, warnings, and advisories.

Complete temporal context for a location: local time, timezone, 14-day calendar with day names and Today/Tomorrow offsets, sunrise/sunset/solar times (from the weather pipeline's astro product), and moon phase.

Probabilistic forecast guidance from NBM for one aspect of the weather: percentile ranges (p10-p90), exceedance probabilities, and ensemble spread.

Current weather right now at a location from two independent sources in one call: the RTMA gridded analysis (exact-point values, updated sub-hourly) and the nearest METAR station observation (ground truth with raw METAR, flight category).

METAR surface observations from weather stations: temperature, wind, visibility, ceiling, flight category, raw METAR.

National population-exposure headline for a risk-zone outlook product: how many people are inside risk bands at or above min_level.

NWS daily climate data: type=reports returns CLI daily climate reports (observed high/low/precip vs normals per station); type=records returns RER record event reports (record highs/lows/rainfall actually set).

Radar-identified storm cells near a location, merging NEXRAD Level III algorithm output from the nearest radar site: storm tracks (cell position, movement, forecast positions), hail index (probability of hail/severe hail + max expected size), mesocyclone detections (rotation), and TVS (tornado vortex signatures).

AirNow air quality at a location (CONUS): current overall AQI plus per-pollutant detail (PM2.

Render a weather map image for visual analysis.

Render the nearest RAOB (radiosonde) sounding as a Skew-T log-P + hodograph chart image for visual analysis: temperature/dewpoint traces, wind barbs, height-banded hodograph, and a derived-indices table (CAPE/CIN, lifted index, PWAT, shear, LCL).

Current data-freshness status of the weather platform: overall state, per-source states (ok / degraded / outage / no_signal), open incidents with cause attribution (provider outage vs internal processing delay), and active provider advisories.
