      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.

                Do you mean something like that?

                Drawing fronts "by hand" is a subjective procedure,
                as shown here:

                  I’m not a programmer by all means, but it sounds as if an algorithm could do what you describe here, no? 😳
