WX Software

 Updated Sep-18-2005

 WXOB is designed to plot meteorograms based on METAR data which is available on  30- minute intervals (even on 15 minutes in some cases) via NWS web server. You can check the min/max temperatures, see when the front has passed, see if fogs  are observed or the cloudiness is increasing its height. You can add ICAO identificators to the list and monitor the weather over those areas. There is an  option to move back in time so you can check the weather more than 24 hours ago.  Take your METAR data from the archive and plot it. You can turn off the option  for cleaning of the screen and plot the temperatures over few locations  together. The program stays in the systray and updates the chart automatically  every 30 minutes. There are sites online where you can plot meteorograms but  they plot only the main meteorological parameters while here you have more
