## 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

```

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you specifically need an hourly weather forecast for Charlotte, NC and want method-labeled, bias-blended output that improves on raw NWS data. It is preferable to a generic point-forecast endpoint when you want transparency about whether each hour's forecast came from the NWS model or a calibrated station blend. Use it over weather APIs that don't label their methodology when model accuracy and auditability matter.

## Known failure modes

- Invalid 'hours' value outside 1–240 range returns a validation error
- Unsupported 'units' enum value returns a 400 bad request
- Upstream NWS data temporarily unavailable may return a 503 or stale/partial forecast
- Payment not fulfilled (x402 protocol failure) returns 402 Payment Required
- Requesting more than 168 hours may return data but with lower confidence beyond that horizon
