          "wind_speed": "4 mph",
          "wind_direction": "from NW",
          etc
        },
        {...} etc
      ]
    }
  }
}

• Testing should look for more than just the presence of attribute fields in the response. Testing should also determine which fields should NOT be present. (don’t send unnecessary data)
