The manuscript ““Subseasonal hydrometeorological ensemble predictions in small-and medium-size mountainous catchments: Benefits of the NWP approach” by Samuel Monhart et al., was reviewed by 3 experts in the field of hydrology and hydrometeorology. This study is within the score of the HESS, however as pointed out by the referees, some revisions would be needed for potential publication in HESS. I completely agree. Despite this decision, the referees and I see the manuscript of high interest to the readership of HESS, particularly after addressing all the comments.

I am pleased to see that the authors manage to propose a number of changes that satisfactorily address the referees’ suggestions/concerns. I offer the authors re-submitting the revised version of the manuscript for additional review.

Dear Authors:

I appreciate and thank you for your clear and concise response to feedback from all reviewers. Your responses are really thoughtful and thorough. I find that the revised version of the manuscript satisfactory addresses the reviewer comments and is acceptable for publication in HESS.
