We had a bug in our code that caused the input forecast file to only
have one hour of forecast data.  We fixed our bug and we no longer have
this case.  It makes sense to me that METRo would need more than one
hour of forecast data in order to interpolate, but I guess my question
is still a valid one, regarding a required number of forecast hours.
