  • The default SSHWS colormap can now be used for flight-level wind as well as SFMR wind.
  • A new utility function utils.create_storm_dict() is available to create storm dicts from custom user-input data.

Summary plot improvements

  • Fixed NHC forecast initialization selection which was slightly offset from the actual time of the forecast issuance.
  • Fixed bug in plotting cones crossing the international dateline.
  • Function no longer crashes if a newly formed storm does not yet have a NHC/JTWC forecast issued.

Bug Fixes

  • Erroneous recon HDOB obsevations are now removed by default.
  • Fixed a bug in tracks.Storm.plot_ensembles() if coloring members by MSLP or sustained wind.
  • Fixed a bug where JTWC forecasts for super typhoons displayed an extratropical marker.
  • Fixed the operational ID for an East Pacific storm in 2020 that was classified as a TS in post-season analysis.
  • Fixed bug in reading recon HDOBs which would crash if the HDOBs file from NHC's archive was improperly formatted (issue #173).
  • Fixed incorrect return type in utils.get_hdobs_realtime().
