Avalanche Forecast for a Zone: Bottom Line, Hazard Discussion, Problems (Avalanche.org)

avalancheorg/forecast

The avalanche forecast product issued by a United States avalanche center for one forecast zone: bottom line, hazard discussion, weather discussion, avalanche problems, danger ratings, author, published and expiry times, and the center's list of zones. Take the zone id from Avalanche Danger Ratings by Forecast Zone. Out of season the center publishes a summary statement instead and the problems and ratings are empty. Text fields contain HTML from the issuing center and should be escaped or sanitised before display. An unknown center or zone id returns a product with every field null and empty lists, not an error. This is safety information relayed from the issuing center (named in avalanche_center), never a forecast of record: check the issuing center's own forecast before acting and do not rely on this copy alone. Data from Avalanche.org / the American Avalanche Association and the issuing avalanche center, served by Eden Engine; not an official Avalanche.org product.
