Here is what I'm wanting to do....

I'm basiclly wanting a computer map to draw on....

I'm just wanting to diagnose maps, and kind of draw where I think severe weather will happen over a 7 day time range...

Is there any kind of map software that I can draw on ?

Similar to the SPC maps.. Thank you........

Can you do that sort of thing with Digital Atmosphere?

Can any of the promets who use it verify this?

We use PowerPoint for such drawing. And there's an add-on program called Weather for PowerPoint that lets you add in all sorts of weather symbols and fronts:

Im happy I checked in on this; thanks WX man that is a useful tool there! I know of digital atmosphere but honestly find it hard to use and its useless almost outside of the U.S

HMM Nevermind, I got to excited, that program does not work on Mac, still nice though and I'm going to try it on a PC.
