This is just a simple one route service that queries the National Weather Service API(https://www.weather.gov/documentation/services-web-api) and returns the weather for the day short forecast(eg Cloudy, Sunny etc) and a characterization of the temperature(hot, cold or moderate)

Its just a howto and not what one would consider production code as its missing the following

• Needs more tests
• Config Service
• Build process
• API documentation eg using Swagger
