Access tomorrow's temperature using EMS

I'm trying to control the charging of a thermal energy storage object in energyplus using EMS. I have it working pretty well based on the date, but I want the logic for whether or not to charge the tank to use the weather forecast for tomorrow, which in energyplus would mean consulting the weather file. However, EMS only seems to have access to weather data at the current time step and not at a future time.

Is there a way to access the outdoor air temperatures for tomorrow using EMS?
