This MetPy Monday episode introduces a new series focused on the latest features in MetPy and practical workflows for meteorological data analysis in Python. John highlights improvements to core calculations, including a more reliable analytic LCL calculation and updated saturation vapor pressure methods. The video also previews new remote data access tools for working with NEXRAD radar, GOES satellite imagery, and machine learning weather prediction archives directly from Python. Additional features include Stüve and Emagram plotting, automatic high and low identification, improved scatter text support, WPC surface analysis plotting, and new shear and curvature vorticity calculations. The episode sets the stage for a 15-part series using real datasets and case studies to demonstrate modern MetPy workflows.
