• Instance: This refers to your self hosted version of AtmosphericX.
• Tunnel: The Cloudflare tunnel name.
• Port: The network protocol AtmosphericX chooses to run on for web access.

Honorable Mentions

Special thanks to CJ Ziegler, James Pettus, TylerWxCorner, CarsonGrayWX, MesoHunter, Connor's Climate Corner, Chief Meteorologist (WYFF 4) Chris Justus, and StarflightWx for inspiring me to continue this project.

A special note to StarflightWx, your encouragement since AtmosphericX v2 has given me hope and motivation to keep improving this project, and I couldn’t be happier with the progress since then. See you on the road and on to the next storm. ❤️
