This application will allow a user to log in and set up a profile which would include registering their phone number and zipcode. Based on profile preferences the user will then get weather wisdom words of the day sent as a text at the time of their choosing. The weather information will generate a weather pattern to establish a baseline and then issue suggestions as to prepare for the day's weather. It is intended to be used as an out-the-door prep for the day's weather.

This is a multi-user application and as such it is designed to generate these out-the-door text messages for all users of the system on the time of each user's choosing. This app will use a cron-like function to schedule delivery of the text messages and will use Twilio to send the message.
