The `./preds` directory needs to have rwx access by the PHP interpreter and the `get_wind_data.py` python script.
## Information
A cronjob should be run to delete directories in the `preds` directory after a given number of days, perhaps 7 or 10.
The directory names are UUIDs comprised of an SHA1 hash of the launch parameters, and re-running predictions will overwrite data in the existing directory, rather than create a new one.
