GFSv16.3.18 - increase wait time for UKmet data in WAFS blending job

[KateFriedman-NOAA]

Description

From RFC memo:

RFC 13236 - On WCOSS2, upgrade the GFS to v16.3.18. The
jgfs_atmos_wafs_blending_0p25 jobs have been unable to consistently send out
blended (UKMet and GFS) products due to late arriving data from UKMet. This
upgrade changes the maximum wait time for UKmet input data from 900 seconds
to 1500 seconds so the jobs can process more late arriving data. To be
implemented on Cactus and Dogwood on September 17 from 1330Z to 1430Z.

Target version

v16.3.18

Expected workflow changes

Update WAFS job script and GFS version

@YaliMao-NOAA Would you mind cutting me a WAFS tag with the above edits before making a tag for the separation?

[KateFriedman-NOAA]

@YaliMao-NOAA To help not slow down the release tag for the WAFS separation, I went ahead and made a fork branch with the wait time changes, sent a PR into the WAFS implementation branch, and cut a new tag (gfs_wafs.v6.3.3). I will now use this new tag in the release branch for this issue so it's documented fully.

[YaliMao-NOAA]

@KateFriedman-NOAA Sorry I was editing WAFS release note and didn't catch your messages promptly. I saw you already created a new tag. Thank you!

[KateFriedman-NOAA]

Tag cut and released: https://github.com/NOAA-EMC/global-workflow/releases/tag/gfs.v16.3.18

Announced to users. Closing issue as complete.
