Project Summary

The weather model will provide the team with a variety of weather information on the route throughout the day. Information such as temperature, predicted precipitation, and wind, is used by other models to help with their decisions. It also provides an idea to the team on if weather could have a negative impact on the racing ahead or if the team will have to trailer through a storm.

Goals

• Obtain weather data along the race route on a day to day basis

• Have predicted weather data for up to two to three days in advance

• Be alerted to bad weather in advance

Stretch Goals:

• Meteorological weather maps on the visualization dashboard (think weather channel maps showing precipitation)

Additional Information:

Inputs

The weather model will take in a set of longitude and latitude values that will refer to locations along the race route for the day.

Outputs

Spreadsheet with the following:

• Latitude/longitude location

• Time

• Temperature → Forwarded to Solar Model

• Wind

• City

• Precipitation
