[THREDDS #KAL-154307]: NBM Data Set

Greetings!

It appears (that PDF is from NWS) that the numbers do represent the hours 
available--and yes, this is specific to the SBN/NOAAPort, which is what we 
receive and distribute.

My recommendation is to use the "Best" virtual dataset, which will help address 
some of the challenges with the fields being available in different runs:

Any chance you're trying to read this into Python? If so, I can provide some 
sample code to get the best 7-day forecast.
