Please indicate fronts

I enjoy seeing the movement of air masses as indicated by graphic front representation. I would love to see a filter with fronts applied to the Windy map! :)

This would be nice but see why it is not feasible:

As explained by @idefix37, this is not possible.
As an alternative, you can use Humidity map at 700hPa with a specific color above 90%. This level of humidity will indicate a potential front. You can combine it with the temperature map at 850hPa to see the air mass with different temperatures indicating fronts as well -
@idefix37 with all due respect, having been one who draws fronts, there are algorithms that do a respectable job. It's multi-layer pattern recognition. I'm not sure if any are open source versions yet, but hopefully this will just be a matter of time. Thank you!

If I understand you are currently drawing fronts using algorithms? If you know some in open source, please let us know. And even if they are not free, that would be interesting. -
@wxwayne
Do you mean something like that?

Drawing fronts "by hand" is a subjective procedure,
