Honestly, not robustly enough yet. I've already been hitting timeouts on NWS gridpoint forecasts.

Right now some weather failures don't stop the rest of the assessment loop. Successful fetches get persisted so the system builds historical weather context over time.

The webhook idea is interesting. The monitoring loop is already separated from the web layer, so publishing to external consumers would be a natural extension.

- "I've already been hitting timeouts on NWS gridpoint forecasts.”

Whattttt? This is bad behavior on your part as a redistributor. It is more polite to do a bulk download (NDFD) and iterate against that directly.

Thanks for calling that out. Bulk could be the better fit as this scales.
