Description of Changes

Please include a summary of the changes and the related GitHub issue(s). Please also include relevant motivation and context.

This PR initializes the EVS-NWPS, one of the components of EVS that is planned to be added into EVS v2.0. In its final form, EVS-NWPS computes the statistical metrics for verification of nearshore waves and generates the real-time verification graphics. Please note that in this PR, only the "prep" and "stats" step are tested. This PR initializes the EVS-NWPS using forecast files for one WFO (hgx) in southern region. Other WFOs will be added in the future PRs.

@SamiraArdani-NOAA You have many GLWU file changes in this PR. Please remove them. This PR only relates to NWPS file changes.

[SamiraArdani-NOAA]

@PerryShafran-NOAA, Right. I noticed that. They were generated when I was trying to merge develop to this branch. I just received the conflict message along with another message that was saying to use "git add ...". So , I added and committed the changes. The conflict was resolved but those GLWU files changes (already merged to develop) were generated. Do you know how to get rid of those?

[PerryShafran-NOAA]

@SamiraArdani-NOAA The best way that I know how is to do the following:

1) Close this PR. 2) Start clean with the current version of develop. 3) Copy in only the files that you changed for nwps. You may need to create a brand new feature branch to do this. 4) Commit these changes. 5) File a new PR.

This will ensure we make things the cleanest without going through any difficult steps to add/subtract files from this PR and its feature branch.

[SamiraArdani-NOAA]

@PerryShafran-NOAA, Ok. I will do the steps, close this and submit a new PR.
