The biggest BowEcho release yet — built in one day of live storm coverage, with five features landing in parallel.

WoFS on your radar map. The Warn-on-Forecast ensemble drapes directly onto the map, time-synced with your radar loop. No projection metadata is published, so BowEcho calibrates the georeference itself by reading the coordinates out of WoFS sounding charts (~15 s, once per run, cached across restarts) and verifies the fit before drawing. Plus: click any of 400 sounding stations on the WoFS image to open its ensemble skew-T, stepping frame by frame.

Mobile radars on your map. FARM quicklooks (COW2/DOW) now drape georeferenced onto the map — BowEcho locates the deployment by matching the plot's town dots against its own basemap (about half a kilometer accuracy), or you can pin the radar manually. RHI scans render in a proper range-height panel, and ODIM-H5 and CFRadial volumes open natively alongside DORADE and Level II.

64 mesoanalysis composites (up from 14): the full sharprs parameter suite — SCP, STP, SHIP, EHI, effective-layer kinematics, lapse rates, severe composites — organized like the SPC mesoanalysis page, computed on your obs-corrected analysis.

Share everything. F12 copies a full-window screenshot straight to your clipboard (and saves a PNG to Pictures/BowEcho); Shift+F12 for map-only. The Record button captures one clean loop cycle as a GIF, or a real MP4 when ffmpeg is installed. An annotation toolbar (crosshair, box, arrow, freehand) draws geo-anchored markups that survive pan/zoom and ride along in every capture — point at the thing, screenshot, paste.
