Current Weather Maps
Contained on this page are sets of large, high-resolution surface maps.
They will produce optimal results when printed on an 11 x 17" printer such as the HP 5000 Laserjet or Epson 1520.
Some of the maps have surface plots only, as those are intended for manual ("hand") analysis.
The isobar maps will give a more complete depiction of conditions.
These maps are all produced using Digital Atmosphere weather analysis package.
All maps use the legacy NMC/NCEP bitmap fonts developed by programmer Gloria Dent in the late 1960s. Since they are highly readable and were used on National Weather Service weather fax products for many decades and continue to be used now at NCEP, we have converted them from their FORTRAN implementions and include them as an optional font in Digital Atmosphere (File > Font Mode > NMC) and they are demonstrated here in these charts. The exception is the European topographic chart, which uses normal Truetype fonts.
