Weather forecast sometimes fails to get any data

[dchassin]

Problem description

Sometimes the noaa_forecast command results in the following error:

bash$ gridlabd noaa_forecast -p=45.62,-122.70 -c=test.csv
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/Cellar/python@3.10/3.10.8/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.10/lib/python3.10/runpy.py", line 196, in _run_module_as_main
    return _run_code(code, main_globals, None,

  File "/usr/local/opt/gridlabd/4.3.1-221013-develop_add_default_glm/share/gridlabd/noaa_forecast.py", line 126, in getforecast
    raise Exception(f"data does not contain required properties information (data={data})")
Exception: data does not contain required properties information (data={'correlationId': '323060', 'title': 'Unexpected Problem', 'type': 'https://api.weather.gov/problems/UnexpectedProblem', 'status': 500, 'detail': 'An unexpected problem has occurred. If this error continues, please contact support at sdb.support@noaa.gov.', 'instance': 'https://api.weather.gov/requests/323060'})

Expected behavior

Normally it should just create the file test.csv:

datetime,temperature[degF],wind_speed[m/s],wind_dir[deg]
2023-03-24 07:00:00,38.0,3.1,225.0
2023-03-24 08:00:00,37.4,3.1,228.9
2023-03-24 09:00:00,37.0,3.1,225.0
2023-03-24 10:00:00,36.8,3.1,213.4
