Draw weather maps? Software?

#1 Postby Brandon8181 » Sun Apr 29, 2012 9:38 pm

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:

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.
