List of possible values for the shortForecast object.

Is there anywhere I can find a list of all of the possible values for the shortForecast object returned by the JSON. I'm trying to associate them with images. (I'd use the icons you provide, but I need them to be a specific size).

I think this will give you what you need.

Thanks for that! Unfortunately, it doesn't match up with what I'm seeing.

Here's the json for my area: https://api.weather.gov/gridpoints/LWX/65,45/forecast

The current "shortForecast" is "Clear" which isn't in that list, nor is "Sunny" which is the "shortForecast" for tomorrow.

The short forecast is derrived from directives and does not translate to a keyable value itself, but as @vestmon noted the icon url will give you the next best thing--you'll just have to parse it out. In the near future, we're going to replace the icon url with a keyable property to use with any icon set, including the NWS icons if desired.

I am not sure how standardized that shortForecast is. It takes a bit of work, but you can parse the icon field to get what you are after: "skc" and "tsra_hi" are couple of examples from the below URLs. The full list being listed in that previously mentioned URL. It would be nice if this was easier .

https://api.weather.gov/icons/land/night/skc?size=medium
https://api.weather.gov/icons/land/day/tsra_hi,60?size=medium
https://api.weather.gov/icons/land/night/tsra_hi,60/tsra_hi,40?size=medium

Take note that the icon name with optional percentage can be repeated a second time.

This may be out of date and does not "Sunny" but is more comprehensive.

I'll give that a try. Thanks!
