    Hello!

    hodo.graphics is a viewer for meteorological data, designed to be mobile friendly.

    I started this project out of a hobbyist interest in meteorology and severe weather. There are many other websites that allow you to view this data (most of it is free from NOAA), but most are a train wreck on a mobile device.

    One of the big differences with hodo.graphics vs. a site like weather.cod.edu is non of the graphics are baked in. They are delivered to the client as either a GeoTiff or GeoJSON, allowing the client to define rendering.

    This means the data can be recolored, displayed in different ways, zoomed and panned, etc.

    Currently hodo.graphics includes outlooks from the Storm Prediction Center, and HRRR and GFS forecast models.

    On demand skew t / log p charts and hodographs can be generated at any point, currently just for HRRR but soon for GFS.

    Additional models will come if I can get any users :)

    Would love feedback and I’m happy to answer any questions.

    FYI: no severe weather today so the default SPC view won’t show anything. Open up the HRRR model to see some data.
