I have a flow that, between the hours of 6PM and 12AM, will check forecast precipitation conditions and alert me if any hour is within 'rainy' or 'snowy' conditions. I use this as a reminder to make sure our patio furniture is covered.

This information is provided by home assistant in a json format. It works, but I'd like to try and clean up the flow if possible.

Each of the trigger-state nodes is looking at a different hour in the forecast. Is there any way to use a wildcard in the condition section, so that I don't need to have 10 different nodes?

Thank you in advance!
