Precursor: I did search for this and see other posts that are similar, but I can't get the threads to display.

I see how to change the altitude with the slider, but I don't understand how to read the changes. The timeline at the bottom displays, but the values don't change with the slider change. I don't understand what the other acronyms mean either (METROBLUE, NAM, etc...). Would one of you help me understand how to read the winds aloft?

Thanks!

Thanks, idefix37.

I was able to get to the same place as in your pic. When I select the Airgram view, then move the slider on the right to change the altitude, nothing changes in the Airgram view. So I guess I need a little more explanation (I swear, I'm not normally this dense -- just new to the weather-world). So are the winds at different altitudes separated by the dotted lines in the colorful area? If so, how do you know what those individual altitudes are?

I did figure out that, for my area, I need to use the NAM model. So Now I just need to know if I'm on the right track with with winds.

Thanks again, for the help!
