Description

Describe the New Feature

Include the capability to produce skewt-logp plots. Will need to identify list of stations to produces these plots.

Acceptance Testing

Variables from specified lat/lon or grid point locations will need to be extracted from the WRF netcdf output files to be used to create these plots.
Testing of any new scripts to produce these plots will need to conducted.

Research direction

Begin by locating the existing Python scripts that read WRF netCDF output and produce plots. Define the station list and how specified latitude/longitude or grid-point variables will be extracted, then test the new plotting scripts; done means the requested Skew-T Log-P plots are produced and the scripts have tests.
