Team,

HI - I have 2 issues:

1) I am modeling in a mountainous area in the US. The weather generator selects a weather station that is too far from my watershed. 

QUESTION: Is there a way to set the generator selector to select a specific meta-data site that is NOT listed?

2) Even if I use the weather station that the generator selects, I want to simulate a design or synthetic storm. Under the selected "Weather Station״ there is a list of "Simulated" and "Observed data file name." If I un-check the precipitation box, then the observed data field becomes activated. When I click on the down arrow, it shows, "No data available." Yet, in the TxtInOut directory I have placed a *.pcp file with my design storm in it. But, the editor does not seem to recognize it. I also created a pcp.cli file that shows the name of my pcp file. However, the editor still does not recognize my pcp file. 

QUESTION: How do I get the editor to recognize my pcp file?

------------
ALSO: Yes I do have hourly switched on in the Simulation Period Advanced Settings.

Thank you all so much for your help,
Mitch
