why there is no precipitation data provided?

Hi, really thanks for your effort
However, I found one issue that, MesoWest provides precipitation data while your API doesn't. Your API is much faster and easier to do queries than mesowest. So will you add this into your API?
thanks.

sure, which mesowest variables are you interested in?

https://synopticlabs.org/api/mesonet/variables/

the /stations query is fast since pylaski caches the latest data from all mesowest stations. it updates the cache every 5 minutes, so may not have the most recent data.

Hi @crawld , thanks for your timely reply. I'm interested in 'Precipitation 24hr' (historical data, not the most recent data) and I can't find that in pylaski.
