In this MetPy Monday, we level up our sounding data caching system! Learn how to build a robust local cache for weather soundings using Python's Path library. This tutorial covers:
✅ Dual-source data retrieval (Wyoming + Iowa State fallback)
✅ Intelligent daily cache cleanup
✅ Automatic removal of unused / stale files
✅ Saving soundings in a structured archive for fast re-use
Perfect for meteorologists, data scientists, or anyone tired of repeatedly downloading the same data.
