Planned

I don't know if its feasible but some sort of graph or text display of a model data at a point would be really nice, similar to what WeatherBell does:

This was already in the plans, fortunately. I have a sample laying around somewhere that I produced.

Turns out "point" forecast is pretty difficult. That is, allowing the customer to click a location and retrieve a Skew-T/Hodograph and/or Meteogram for that point. This is because it uses quite a bit of processing power to seek the model GRIB for that particular piece of data at a single coordinate pair. So what most model websites do is pre-process _many_ samples across the country, mostly at RAOB sites (OUN, etc.) so as to get the best data. Then point clicks simply use the nearest pre-processed graphic.

More on this to come.

Sounds great! Would it be expanded beyond RAOB sites? For example where I live in NY the closest sites are Buffalo (BUF) and Albany (ALB) which are both on opposite sides of the state, 250 mi apart.

Yes, for sure. Sorry for the confusion.

Do you know when this will be implemented into AH Maps?
