[Bldg-sim] Tracking Hurricane Florence through the Wilmington weather file (final update through Sept. 18)

[Joe Huang]

This will be my final update on Hurricane Florence since the weather has pretty much 
returned to normal, whatever that is...  Besides, I think I've milked this news cycle 
enough already :-)

In case anyone wants to play around with the weather file, I've put it here 
<http://weather.whiteboxtechnologies.com/custom-np-link-download?F1=6630821940*NC_WILMINGTON-IAP_723020_18.zip> 
, but be forewarned that the data stop on Sept. 18.

Final comments re: data from Sept 16-17:
I don't believe the solar numbers at all.  These are calculated based on the  cloud cover 
reported as a constant  0.4 over the past 80 hours; it's perfectly understandable the 
meteorologists might have been too swamped by other tasks to bother recording the cloud 
cover, but it does bring up one of my pet peeves that when people opine on solar models, 
they only attribute defects to the models and never to the input data. Readers may be 
aware that for the past year and more, I've been replacing my modeled solar with 
satellite-derived solar; the primary reason is not the improvement in modeling, but more 
reliable recordings of cloud conditions.
