Astro-Atmos Documentation
Tools to make local weather forecasts for terrestrial astronomical observations.
Note: Because of the models/data sources currently implemented, this can only forecast locations within the United States. I have partially developed support for Canada too, but it is currently incomplete.
Code documentation is found here. For a more general overview and installation instructions check out the Github page.
