Storm track
Time runs across. Height is maximum sustained wind, read from each status's METAR. The red ring marks the current position, and the cone ahead of it assumes conditions persist. A dashed stretch spans two weeks or more without a report, and the time axis breaks across it, marked // with how long it lasted.

Advisory 5 HIPRES High pressure
Stable and in use, with fixes as they turn up. On iPhone the wind over the surface analysis had been drawn in one corner of the map and wiped whenever Safari's toolbar slid away; it now covers the whole map and stays. A sunshine recorder took the almanac's place among the instruments, and its glass now shows in Safari and Firefox too.

Advisory 4 HIPRES High pressure
Feature complete, shipped, and settled into regular use. Since the first deployment the station has grown weather of its own, worked out from the log: a radar, a barograph, a wind rose, a hygrometer, and an almanac; a weather map with a surface analysis, wind flow, and a satellite view; a season chart drawn on the graphical outlook's own chart; climate stripes, station records, and a meteogram on each project's page. Pilot reports can rate turbulence and icing, a line that went out wrong is corrected with a COR line, backups and a rebuild run every night, and the Storm Archive now keeps one season a page.
