That is really awesome! Looks as if there is a "hole" just below us this morning!

Ooh, I love new data!

Too bad this feeble computer can't keep up; I've tried opening it 3 times now and keep getting locked up.

If you compare that with a standard weather map (say, here) you can see how features match up.

Given that the surface winds are what's being animated, it's more like a "hole" above you -- which, in a sense, is what a low pressure center is. HPH
