+BigTop Weatherman
+=================
+
+Library for generating weather on a zipcode-by-zipcode basis.
+
+Building and Testing
+--------------------
+This project is part of a multiproject Gradle build. Please see directions in the parent directory for build instructions.
+
+Running
+-------
+BigTop Weatherman is primarily designed for consumption as a library but it also provides a CLI interface in the jar. The jar can be executed as follows:
+
+ $ java -jar build/libs/bigtop-weatherman-1.1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar outputDir zipcode simulationLength startDate seed
+
+For example, simulating the weather in South Bend, IN 46617:
+
+ $ java -jar build/libs/bigtop-weatherman-1.1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar output/ 46617 365 2014-04-05 1234
+
+will produce a file `output/46617.txt` containing simulated daily temperature, wind chill, wind speed, total precipitation, rainfall, and snowfall readings.
