Projects & Tools

Tools I've built because the operation needed them: an aviation weather map in my own time, and decision-support apps and automations at work.

Personal project

Aviation Weather Map Open to everyone

  • Python · FastAPI
  • PostgreSQL / PostGIS
  • Cloud-optimized GeoTIFF
  • MapLibre · WebGL
  • NOAA & FAA public data

A single map that brings together the weather and air-traffic picture across the United States, built to make it quick to see what is happening at an airport now and what is coming.

The map's public view

Observations

  • MRMS radar mosaic and individual NEXRAD site radar
  • GOES satellite, including Day Cloud Phase and water vapor
  • GLM lightning
  • METARs and TAFs with flight-category coloring

Forecasts and guidance

  • HRRR, RRFS and GFS model layers, with Skew-T soundings
  • NBM and LAMP station guidance, including thunderstorm probability
  • Turbulence and icing: NOAA's GTG, FIP and CIP

Hazards

  • SIGMETs, G-AIRMETs and Center Weather Advisories
  • NWS watches and warnings
  • NHC tropical cyclone forecasts

Traffic management

  • FAA ground stops, ground delay programs, AFPs and FCAs, live from FAA SWIM

Built in

  • Two days of replay on one timeline
  • A built-in help center on the layers and their limits
  1. NOAA, NWS and FAA public feeds
  2. Ingested and processed on my server
  3. Weather imagery and station data
  4. One interactive map in the browser

No sign-in needed to explore the weather and FAA traffic management programs; flight tracking and alerts are not part of the public view. This is a personal project built on public NOAA and FAA data. It is not an official source of weather or flight information and is not for operational use.
