[python #KPO-566084]: Unable to plot SKEW-T in google CoLabs

Greetings!

This is most likely because Colab is running an older version of Matplotlib. 
MetPy 1.2.0 requires Matplotlib >=3.3 (this *should* have been taken care of 
when installing MetPy, but clearly it didn't). You can check your version of 
matplotlib with either:

  %pip list matplotlib

or

  import matplotlib
  print matplotlib.__version__

Regardless, the solution is to either roll back to an older MetPy release (like 
1.1.0) or upgrade matplotlib with:

  %pip install --upgrade matplotlib>=3.3

Hope this helps!
