A good start would be to plot a spatial map of radar, to compare against models.

A few things are needed for this basic use case. The data can be downloaded as a different "model", but we will have to do something special for determining how many files to grab, as we can't just plot the entire series.

Actually we can just use the validity time, so this might work already.

We need to be careful to ensure that the QA/QC is the same in the evaluation/quicklook route as the METplus route used for verification. There is a need to allow for radar quicklook plots and user defined accumulation periods justifying including radar data similar to model data via an evaluation route as well rather than just via a verification (METplus) route.
