What it does
Placeholder. This section explains the tool in the reader's terms: you get a map of the United States, you draw a forecast onto it, and you leave with an image file you can post. Two paragraphs, no feature list yet, because the features come next.
What you can put on a map
Placeholder. The capability rundown, written as things a person wants to show rather than as a spec sheet.
- Accumulation zones for snow, rain, and ice, each with its own intensity scale
- Precipitation type across a region when the storm is not one thing everywhere
- Cold, warm, stationary, and occluded fronts
- Storm tracks and the jet stream
- High and low pressure centers
- Air mass regions
- City labels and free text wherever you need them
How it works
Placeholder. Walk the reader from an empty map to a finished export. Should read like watching someone do it, not like documentation.
- Pick what the map is showing
- Draw the zones
- Add fronts, tracks, and labels
- Name the storm and set the date range
- Export a PNG or JPG
Who ends up using it
Placeholder. Short framing of the audiences, each linking to its own page below. Keep this tight, because the individual pages carry the real argument.
Why it is free
Placeholder. Honest answer here. The tool exists because Tom needed it, and giving it away costs nothing that matters. This paragraph is the one most likely to get quoted, so it should sound like a person.
