At least in the forecast I use period 0 means today and then 1 the next day etc.

POP means Percent (chance) of precipitation
QPF means Quantitative precipitation forecast
(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantitative_precipitation_forecast)

As for the list, I don't know of anything like that other than

Has anyone figured out how to FILTERXML the individual periods info? For example for day 3... I've Tried period.2, period/2, period//2 and all return invalid results the only thing that works is for period which is the present day so cant filter out the other forecast days or periods?
