Knight Runners Weather Alert Bot
I Made this Bot to tell UCF club runners the weather. This was done so that if I forgot to check Thorguard (the weather system used by UCF) club members would still know if practice was happening or not. Using Thorguard's information and working through many errors and enhancements I created a Bot that can display weather at any time with the /weather command and I have also created a loop command that will display the weather 45 mins before practice everyday.
