Plotting Synop Code

[marc0s-vianna]

Hello MetPy team,

Is there any way to plot synop code with MetPy? If not, should be in the next feature release? I got it with the metar code, however I didn't find tutorial demonstrates the use of MetPy with synop code.

Thank you!

Currently, if you have synop data already parsed into numpy arrays, you can use MetPy's existing plotting capabilities (e.g. StationPlot) to plot the data. What I think you're really asking about is parsing the data (like our existing METAR parser), and right now MetPy does not have any functionality for parsing synop reports. There is an open feature request to add this. While this is not currently a high priority item for us, we welcome community contributions adding such a feature.
