Projects

These are projects I’m working on, if only occasionally:

NWS Notifier

NWS Notifier is a simple little Python app that can send alerts about forecast discussions posted by the National Weather Service and the Storm Prediction Center. Right now Discord is my chosen notification target. I recently added a static-site generator with map plotting functionality to make alert links more useful.

Convective.app

Unlaunched, at the moment. Convective.app is a website that can issue alerts when storms approach, and serves a useful map frontend so help gauge storm risk.

KMEY.info

KMEY.info is a simple weather dashboard for my local airport, optimized to load over a slow connection. MEY, or James Whiting Memorial Field of Mapleton, IA, doesn’t have automatic weather observation equipment like other small airports, and has only a basic internet connectivity. This page scrapes and pre-processes local weather data and presents a little landing page for airport info.
