Prototype Sketch

Scenarios

• Time interval has expired and new data needs to be retrieved
• Time interval has not expired and no prediction requests made by user
• User requests prediction from system
• No prediction is available

Data Required

• NOAA station number
• NOAA station information
• Raw data from NOAA station
• NOAA station location map
• User directed prediction request

Actions

• The user can choose a station location from map to view system interval prediction
• The user can request a prediction from most current raw data, not affecting interval

System Actions/Reactions

• Display map of available station locations
• Allow user to choose NOAA station to view
• Display NOAA station information for selected station
• Display current interval prediction plots
• Display interval time information message above prediction plots
• Display new prediction plots on request from user
• Scrape new raw data from NOAA stations on set interval (6 hours)
• Scrape new raw data from selected NOAA station on user request
• On interval or by request:
  • Clean scraped data for use in pre-trained machine learning model
  • Generate and save new prediction plots (generated saved by station ID and identifying if interval or requested)
  • Display requested plots only while user on page, navigation away from page will reset plots to interval predictions
• If time interval has not expired and no user requests for new prediction, display current interval predictions
• Display error dialog in the event no prediction is available
