Suggestion: Keep Wx grids in element groups through the entire process

Running FB manually only displays the grids you're editing for each step. I think at least Wx should always be present, mainly because I want to see the current forecast to ensure consistency. (In all honesty I'd like to see all the PoT_WinterWx/SummerWx elements like the "old" method of "manually" running through the whole PoWT process, but that's just because I heavily used PoWT in the past and liked seeing all the ingredients at the same time since I often jumped around running and re-running different PoT elements in my forecast process.)

Joseph,

I could see this from the precipitating type / accumulation grid step onwards, as it might be easier to see neighbor grids rather than looking through all the Pot grids. However, at least the precipitating type step, if your SnowAmt and IceAccum are seamless, then that means your types, QPF and resultant Wx for p-types and intensity are consistent. What would be really cool is if I could keep updating Wx automatically after anytime Pot grids are updated, without the need for Step 6 to generate the Wx grid.
