This is very interesting, if true.  RPG is not, in my opinion, a very good
language for the heavy calculations involved in meteorology nor is an i5
really designed for them.  I couldn't find an article about this on the
National Weather Service site or using Google.  Would you be so kind as to
share the source?

Thanks.
