WSUP Viewer v5.0 was released on 9/15/2022. Please see version notes below

New Features:

  • Map Display:

    • A comparison tool (accessed via the offset windows icon on the right menu bar) enables users to simultaneously view NBM, NDFD, and RTMA/URMA over a common area centered on the cursor.

    • A delta function differences the displayed NBM or NDFD grid with the NBM, NDFD, or RTMA/URMA grid specified in the comparison tool menu. Multiple color curves are available for the delta maps.

    • Custom polygon files (in GeoJSON) uploaded for display during the current WSUP browser session via a dialogue accessed from the right menu bar

    • Arrow and text modes as new drawing options on the right menu bar

    • NDFD ceiling, visibility, llwsdir, llwshgt, and llwsspd for CONUS and Puerto Rico

    • Hourly NDFD elements through 36 hours in Puerto Rico

  • Point Vis:

    • QPF12/24/48/72 have been added as options for NBM 4.1

Bug Fixes:

  • Map Display:

    • NBM maxt and mint for the Guam domain are now available

    • When toggling the station-based wind barbs option, the first forecast projection was being displayed rather than the projection that had been active before the toggle

    • The proper seasonal color curve wasn’t being automatically selected on init date change
