tests/noaa/mrms/conus_analysis_hourly/region_job_test.py::test_download_and_read_precipitation[pre-v12-iowa] fetches from mtarchive.geol.iastate.edu during the Code Quality job. On 2026-09-07 it timed out after 16 retries over 107 s (the mirror was unreachable), failing an unrelated PR (#1017) until re-run.
A test that depends on a single university mirror being reachable will fail other peoples PRs again. Options: mark it slow/network-only and exclude from CI, stub the download with a cached fixture, or add a skip when the host is unreachable.
Found by the GEFS suite while chasing a red check on #1017.
