Absolute-time-oriented demarcations on precipitation graph #18

Open stuartpb opened 7 years ago

Rather / in addition to than the 24-hours-from-now line, it'd be useful to have lines for noon and midnight on the graph - maybe dotted?

Actually, I think it'd make more sense to just have the 48-hour forecast split into three colors for today, tomorrow, and the day after next (and maybe a dot/colon on the noon points). I'm not so sure the "24 hours from now" line is all that useful.

Worth noting that anything involving the absolute time for the 48-hour precip forecast will need to entail a new message key reporting the integer date of the first hour of the 48-hour forecast (and, while we're at it, a key for the first minute of the minutely forecast).

In terms of accuracy, this addresses #19, and also allows it to be better addressed (as this allows the forecasts to be adjusted on time updates).

Also, while we're at it, the minutely forecast should use a different background color, too (an alternative solution to #17).

Since managing paths for three separate days could be pretty tricky (we're doing some kind of black magic right now to keep all the points contiguous), my thinking right now is to just have the days separated with lines, accompanied by a small text label for the days of the week they'd be (so if today is Tuesday, the line separating tomorrow would be "WED" and the day after would be "THU").
