Thinking about the applications to be run at a community college, the concept of a local weather forecast has been running around in my head lately. The concept would be to install and run WRF, perhaps overnight, and produce a weather forecast in the morning. I suppose this hinges on WRF having a sufficiently small scale for local forecasting and on being able to download input data every day.
Your thoughts please?
