Readme
- Fork this val 👉 https://val.town/v/stevekrouse.umbrellaReminder/fork
- Customize the
location(line 8). You can supply any free-form description of a location.
⚠️ Only works for US-based locations (where weather.gov covers).
- Geocodes an free-form description of a location to latitude and longitude – @stevekrouse.nominatimSearch
- Converts a latitude and longitude to weather.gov grid – @stevekrouse.weatherGovGrid
- Gets the hourly forecast for that grid
- Filters the forecast for periods that are today and >30% chance of rain
- If there are any, it formats them appropriately, and sends me an email
