About Weather Graphics

Weather Graphics is the creation of meteorologist Tim Vasquez. It was officially born in July 1992. It offered a single radar analysis program called RadarScan. Some surface analysis capabilities were added, and in late 1992 it was renamed Weather Pro. The success of the project led to a full-fledged surface and radar analysis software program called WeatherGraphix, which is a solid package still being used to this very day by a few MS-DOS fanatics. The software was developed entirely by Tim Vasquez to bring the forecast desk to the home.

With Microsoft Windows revolutionizing PC operating systems, Tim responded in 1996 creating a Windows-based analysis program, similar to WeatherGraphix, called Digital Atmosphere. The program's code now fully capitalizes on 32-bit system architecture and represents our top-notch analysis package. Weather Graphics Technologies has continued to specialize in books, software, weather forecasting services, severe weather targeting services, meteorology training, and related consulting work. All programming, development, and support originates from Norman, Oklahoma and Palestine, Texas.
