Workflow overview

How one weather desk assembles the operating picture

See how radar, satellite, alerts, observations, aviation data, and forecast reasoning fit into one scan path.

01 / The problem

What had to change

Useful weather context sits across several products and views. An operator needs one legible desk for the current picture.

02 / The constraints

What the system had to respect

  • Different weather products update on different schedules.
  • The display must support glanceable use from a distance.
  • Aviation data and general forecasts need one clear hierarchy.

03 / The build

What I made

  • A TypeScript display that combines NOAA weather products.
  • A dense operating layout with clear scan paths.
  • The public repository explains how the display works.

04 / The result

The useful change

Weather and aviation context can stay visible on one operating display instead of several browser tabs.
