forecaster is an HTTP server that serves the forecasted weather using the National Weather Service API Web Service as the data source.
The endpoint /forecast accepts a POST request having latitude and longitude coordinates and returns the short forecast for that area and a characterization of whether the temperature (F) is “hot”, “cold”, or “moderate”. Hot is greater than 90F, moderate is 70F to 89F, and cold is less than 70F.
The server is hardcoded to listen on port 8080.
No third party Go packages were used in this project.
