Default SkySight forecast available for SW USA

Updated my sample graphics under the bit.ly link:

bit.ly/SkysightCompare_20170317

to include HRRR model forecast for same day and hour, 21Z, showing thermal strength (wstar), thermal height (max soarable TI=0) pblmsl, and winds at 80 meters agl vectors, wind speed. Also includes convergence of wind field at 80meters agl. These calculations are based on my ncl version of DrJack's parameters displayed in the Integrated Data Viewer (IDV) from Unidata.
