[AWIPS #MHV-312997]: Models on MacOS Issue

You are the second user that has reported this similar (maybe same) issue with 
MacOS v14. Can you open alertview
(CAVE menu > Open AlertView) and then try to load a model product? If you see 
any new errors pop up in alertview
can you click on them to expand the messages and then send me that text in a 
file?

Are you able to load other kinds of products (satellite images, surface obs, 
warnings, etc)?

I'm leaning towards something changed (maybe to do with python) in MacOS v14, 
and that's causing our issues.
Unfortunately, at the moment I don't have a test machine on MacOS 14 yet.
