Now that pygrib works on Windows, so will all the HRRR_Pando scripts.

The rm command is currently used to remove the temporary HRRR file from the system. This needs to be changed to a pure python method, because rm is not recognized by the windows system.

Hey Brian,

I'm writing code that deals with GOES-16 ABI & GLM imagery as well as aircraft observations as part of my senior research. I saw in your mapping_GOES16_TrueColor.py code, when getting GOES-16's Longitude of Projection Origin from the netCDF file, it will return -75.0. I originally got the same result in my own original code with the netCDFs I was processing. However, GOES-16's longitude is -75.2. I found that this small difference in longitude resulted in a considerable amount of error when transforming the ABI coordinates to a Mercator projection and plotting aircraft-observed hurricane low pressure centers on top of the ABI images, more error than could have been attributed to just parallax. My advisor & I eventually figured out the problem and I hardcoded GOES-16's longitude at -75.2, which cleared things up. Just wanted to pass this along in-case you run into some discrepancies when working with GOES-16 imagery, especially on the mesoscale.
