Additional Context

  • In use currently: Leads Meteo Star = $140K split b/w BCWS and BC Hydro: plenty of downtime, stressful forecaster experience at 6AM. Static Global (GDPS) 10-day 6AM/6PM grib data: temp/RH/precip past 24 hrs/Surface Pressure accessible via FTP server
  • Alternative: Geo Stream (Windy) @ $70K annually; SME = Brett & Warren
