[python #IAS-878726]: County boundaries on radar image



Matt,

I don't. Do you have a cities as a text file? If so, it should be easy to load 
in Python; then you could plot their text names using MetPy's station plot:

If you have a shape file, I'm not sure how to pull things apart. Feel free to 
request that as an example here:
