Assignment: Predict the 24 hr precipitation amount (inches) for Seattle-Boeing, WA (KBFI)

Thursday is the best day of the entire year, of course because it's Opening Day for Major League Baseball. The defending World Champion Boston Red Sox (ugh) will play a night game in Seattle, but there is a chance of showers. So let's predict the 24-hr precipitation amount for Seattle and see if they get anything significant. Boeing Field is closer to the ballpark than Sea-Tac Airport, so we'll forecast for there.
