You might want to ignore that high pressure to the north of Lake Superior... that's just a weird little artifact that shouldn't be there lol

SWEEET! I really hate to be such a royal pain in the butt. If this can't be done or if you aren't up to it, don't sweat it. You've certainly ...

Oh wow, you're right. What was I looking at? lol, the second looks MUCH closer to what my friend had drawn. THANK YOU! You're a lifesaver. :) Just oooone last request before I embark on my plotting journey. :p

Is there anyway you can include a lot of stations without overcrowding the map? The ...

But the isobars remained unchanged from what I can see.... am I correct?

I did "smooth" the isobars a little to make them look better, so this may have caused the difference. I'll do one that isn't as smooth. I also only included the station ID and Altimeter setting

Isn't that the same render?

Just remove the K from the station Identifiers. The Altimeter Setting is in the upper right of the plot.

Hrmmm... This is for November 12, 2003 at 3 PM? I remember looking at a friend's map that had already finished their ...

What hour would you like for 11/12/2003?

Glad it looks close :) We probably are never going to get an exact match.

Pat

As long as it's close, I should be able to do it on my own anyway. I just need a close guideline to help me out. Anyway, the hour on 11/12/03 is 3:00 PM.

Also remember, if ...

WOW! Very, very close. The isobars snake a bit more on the sample, but for the most part, they are identical. However, my map includes ALL of Texas and even a portion of New Mexico. Is there anyway you could generate a map for 11-12-2003, perhaps with station plots included?

Thank you very much ...
