    "A weather prediction that covers a relatively brief period, typically from a few hours up to 72 hours in advance. These forecasts rely heavily on current observations and high-resolution numerical weather prediction models. They provide detailed information on temperature, precipitation, wind, and severe weather threats.",
    "A configuration of the National Water Model (NWM) that runs hourly and produces hourly deterministic forecasts of streamflow and hydrologic states out to 18 hours for the contiguous United States (ConUS), and out 48 hours for Hawaii and Puerto Rico/U.S. Virgin Islands. For ConUS, meteorological forcing data are drawn from the HRRR and RAP. For Hawaii and Puerto Rico/U.S. Virgin Islands, meteorological forcing data are drawn from the NAM-Nest with HIRESW WRF-ARW."
