Description

**Describe the task**
Weather data and fire weather indices must be retrieved from WildfireOne for station locations and interpolated to a raster that matches the provincial extent and resolution of all other gridded inputs such as fuel and elevation.

**Acceptance Criteria**
- [ ] Determine if existing Daily Hourly Job can be leveraged to pull from WF1 through the API.
- [ ] Determine how data is being retrieved currently - meet with BCWS geospatial unit.

**Additional context**
- Check `HourlyActualsJob` to see how it's requested all station data for actuals (to potentially reuse or understand WF1 API limits)

Research direction

Review the Daily Hourly Job and HourlyActualsJob to understand how station data is requested and whether the WildfireOne API can support this use case. Consult the BCWS geospatial unit about the current retrieval process. The investigation is complete when the viable API approach and the method for interpolating station data to the provincial raster are documented.
