🎉xmACIS2Py v1.2.1 Released!!🎉

It is a rainy day so I made major improvements to xmACIS2Py and xmACIS2Py v1.2.1 is ready to be installed via anaconda and/or pip. #python #dataviz #weather #climate #wxsky #wxblue #stats

xmACIS2Py Documentation & Jupyter Lab Tutorials: pypi.org/project/xmac...

Happy to announce I now have my 2nd ever Python package (xmACIS2Py) published to anaconda and ready for folks to download!! #Python #dataviz #wxsky #wxblue

The user also has the option to add a high temperature threshold if they choose to. #python #dataviz #meteorology #wxsky #wxblue

Here is another visualization unique to FireWxPy: Cross-Section between two points Favorable Fire Weather Forecast! I changed around the defaults in the optional arguments to get more red (defaults are RH <=15% & Wind Speed >= 25 MPH). #python #dataviz #meteorology #wxsky #wxblue

Now for one of my favorites: Vertical Velocity (Shaded), Temperature (Black Contours), RH (Green Contours) and Wind Barbs. #python #dataviz #wxsky #wxblue

RAP and RAP 32 are also options for cross sections. #python #dataviz #wxblue #wxsky #weather

Coming soon to FireWxPy! Forecast Cross-Sections except this time we are looking at between two points rather than a time cross-section forecast for a single point. I also included a 500mb chart subplot as a chef's kiss. #python #dataviz #wxblue #wxsky #weather

This package was just started the other day so it is very much early on in development. That being said, here is a taste of the first graphics in xmACIS2Py. #python #dataviz #climate #wxsky #wxblue

In this Jupyter Lab Tutorial we use FireWxPy to create both a NAM and a RAP time cross-section forecast using the custom lat/lon for the LO1 Buoy on Lake Ontario to analyze the Lake-Effect Snow potential. #python #dataviz #wxsky #wxblue #snow #nywx #MetEd #lakeeffect

In honor of KABR being the current #WxChallenge city, here is a Jupyter Lab Tutorial on how we can use FireWxPy to create GFS & NAM Time Cross-Section Forecasts for KABR. Looks like some interesting weather later this week!! #python #dataviz #wxsky #wxblue #sdwx

I created a new github repository and moved all the FireWxPy Jupyter Lab examples in there. I provided a link to the new examples guide in the old markdown file that was the old examples guide. #python #dataviz #wxsky #wxblue #firewx #MetEd

Added Dendritic Growth Zone [DGZ] (layer of the atmosphere between -12°C and -18°C - this is the layer dendrites form and dendrites result in fast snow accumulations) depth for funsies. You can add deep DGZ to the previous analysis which is still valid. #snow #nywx #python #dataviz #wxblue #wxsky

FireWxPy reached 3000 total downloads!! 🎉🥳🎊

More new features are in the works (see below tweet).

#python #dataviz #wxsky #wxblue

Q: What is part of the next major addition to FireWxPy?
A: Model Time vs. Pressure Cross-Sections coming soon!

This is useful in #WxChallenge! The user enters a station ID or a custom lat/lon and you get a cross-section for the nearest grid point to the location. #python #dataviz #wxsky #wxblue

New FireWxPy tutorial, Episode 9: Making Forecast Vertical Profiles using FireWxPy. In this example we make 2 sets of forecast vertical profile graphics (KLAX and KJFK) using different reference systems. We also show how to limit data requests on the NOMADS server. #python #dataviz #wxsky #wxblue

In Episode 8 of the FireWxPy Tutorial Series, I show you how to make a custom plot of the NWS Maximum Temperature Forecast. When making a custom plot (custom bounds), we also need to play around with optional arguments that don't need to be touched normally. #python #MetEd #dataviz #wxsky #wxblue

New FireWxPy tutorial! How to plot observed soundings using FireWxPy. In this video you can watch me plot the latest observed sounding for Vandenburg, California. #python #dataviz #tutorials #wxsky #wxblue #MetEd

A new @unidata.bsky.social blog just dropped and it is 🔥🔥🔥!! Thank you to the team at Unidata for sharing my work with the broader meteorology community. #python #dataviz #firewxpy #wxsky #wxblue

Started teaching myself R today. Followed a youtube tutorial where I downloaded netCDF data from a THREDDS Server and plotted temperature anomalies in R. I created a repo since I am making the code have a lot of comments so others can learn too if they so choose. #R #wxsky #wxblue #statistics

If any of my followers have used firewxpy, don't be afraid to let me know what you think, both the good and the bad. My DMs are open if you don't want your comment to be seen publicly. #Python #dataviz #firewx #wxsky #wxblue

**FireWxPy v1.4.4.2 Has Been Released!!** Now users who conda install the update can create the forecast vertical profiles graphics.

Patch Notes: github.com/edrewitz/fir...

Docs: github.com/edrewitz/fir...

#python #dataviz #meteorology #wxblue #wxsky #computerscience

Absolutely incredible snowfall rates here Whatcom County, Washington State! This is on Interstate 5 heading south towards Seattle. Probably 3-4" PER HOUR snowfall rates. Heaviest snow I have ever seen. #wxblue #wawx #snowfall #snow #winter

Coming up in FireWxPy version 1.4.2 which is set to release in the near future will have a few new forecast model graphics:

1) Precipitation Rate
2) Height/Temperature/Wind
3) Freezing Level
4) Height/RH/Wind

#python #dataviz #wxsky #wxblue #meteorology #computerscience

We now surpassed 2000 total downloads! I'm very curious to who has been using this. #python #dataviz #wxsky #wxblue

Here's a ? for those that have weather businesses or do weather consulting. Will you be calling it "Gulf of America" because NWS is now doing it or will you still be calling it "Gulf of Mexico"?

For me, I'll still be calling it "Gulf of Mexico" & it's a hill I'll die on. #wxblue #weather

The SPC has now upgraded the Saturday severe weather threat in the south to a moderate risk. This means the threat of tornadoes damaging winds and hail is now even higher. #wxblue

We need a hashtag for all the weather folks to congregate around. #WxSky? #StormSky? #WxBlue? Should find out what the best combo is for Wx folks, chasers, meteos, etc.

We need a Hastag for the Weather Community on Bluesky. How much about : #wxsky #wxbluesky , #wxbs or #wxblue ?
