This is a prototype of NSHARP that cross compiles to MacOS, Windows, Linux, and... the web browser!

It just decoded and displayed NWS and IMET upper air BUFR sounding files at full, 1 HZ resolution (4-6k vertical levels) interactively, in real time.

No runtime loading of BUFR tables needed!

A new interactive REFS (RRFS Ensemble Forecast System) viewer is coming to an SPC site near you. Probably sometime in early 2026.

New demonstration of modifying the selecting the storm motion of a sounding, including setting your own custom choices. Changing the motion changes all wind-related parameters and boxes, allowing you to see how an environment may look with a deviant storm (from twitter)

Pretty solid cold-core setup in northern and eastern Illinois tomorrow. Impressive moisture return will allow for low to mid 50s F dewpoints in northern/eastern Illinois. On top of this moisture plume, ~-20C temperatures will allow for strong low and mid level lapse rates to develop.

I’ve been rewriting NSHARP, our sounding analysis visualization program. It’s fully interactive at 140+ FPS, supports full-res/raw 1s radiosonde data natively. It compiles in MacOS, Linux, Windows, and runs in a web browser. Of course, leveraging the sounding code above!

Since late September, me and @MikeBWeather (on Twitter) have been hard at work moving Aguacero over to AWS. During this process, it became clear that we would need to reengineer our data processing pipeline.
