## Stack

- **Cloudflare Workers** (ES modules) + **Workers KV** for the cached forecast.
- No build step and no dependencies — `src/index.js` is the entire app and
  `wrangler.jsonc` is the config.
- A 15-minute cron refreshes the cached NWS forecast and alerts (and, on a
  slower cadence, the school calendar, river gauges, and tropical outlook).
- Data: U.S. National Weather Service (public domain), NOAA NWPS and NHC,
  EPA (UV), EPA/AirNow (measured air quality, Open-Meteo modeled fallback),
  the Houston Health Department (pollen & mold), the U.S. Geological Survey
  (fishing-water conditions), Houston TranStar (traffic), Crosby ISD, and
  Google News.

## Develop

```bash
npm install
npx wrangler dev      # run locally
npx wrangler deploy   # deploy (CI also deploys on push to main)
```
