## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability nws-precipitation-outlook-technology-buyers-ba4da72e -d '<json body>'

Example prompt: What's the current National Weather Service precipitation outlook for Washington DC — latitude 38.9047, longitude -77.0164? I want to see all the official forecast periods and any active alerts.

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need official, authoritative U.S. government precipitation forecasts tied to exact geographic coordinates. It is ideal when NWS data is specifically required (e.g., for compliance, reporting, or official sourcing), for US-only use cases, and when you need structured forecast periods rather than a narrative summary. Prefer alternatives for international weather data or non-precipitation weather parameters like temperature or wind.

## Known failure modes

- Non-US coordinates return no data or an error since the NWS only covers US locations
- Invalid or out-of-range latitude/longitude values may result in a lookup failure
- NWS API downtime can cause empty or error responses
- Coordinates in remote/offshore US areas may return sparse forecast data
- Payment failure or insufficient USDC balance prevents the call from completing
