United States Hourly Forecast Map

This is a simple Forecast Map using station info from Meteostat and weather data from Weather.gov to display hourly forecast data for each state in the continental United States. My primary goals with this project were to utilize asynchronous programing and Docker containerization while build skills in data visualization.

Running the program

To build the Docker image, clone the repo then execute the following command while in the project directory:

docker build -t us-forecast .

then, to run the container, execute the following command:

docker run --rm -v ${PWD}/maps:/home/forecast-user/maps us-forecast

This command creates a new directory called maps in your local working directory and mounts it to the container. Then it runs the forecast script inside the container. This allows the map .png files to be saved on your machine.
