 Hagelslag is an object-based severe storm forecasting system that utilizing image processing and machine learning tools
 to derive calibrated probabilities of severe hazards from convection-allowing numerical weather prediction model output.
 The package contains modules for storm identification and tracking, spatio-temporal data extraction, and 
 machine learning model training to predict hazard intensity as well as space and time translations.
