Rusty Weather is a Open Source Windows program in the Other category, developed by Fahrenheit Research. The current version is 0.4.1; you can download it safely from its official source with the download button above.
A self-contained weather model viewer: fetch HRRR (more models coming), store hours in a fast-access format, and view map plots, instant soundings, and live GOES satellite loops in a native egui app. Full Rust, MIT licensed. Extracted and rebuilt from the rustwx fast path. Storage paths (--store-root, --cache-dir) are configurable in-app via the collapsible "Storage" section in the left panel and are persisted across launches (precedence: CLI arg > persisted setting > built-in default).
📝 Release notes (0.4.1)
Sounding Studio
- Fully movable and resizable SHARPpy panels, with persistent Stretch/Fit sizing and Dock/Float presentation.
- Customize the three diagnostic boards cell by cell: reorder, replace, remove, split sections, or insert the current Formula Lab result.
- Independent sounding typography with Space Grotesk, clean sans, and technical mono presets plus adjustable text scale.
- One shared presentation workspace across model, observation-adjusted, RAOB, and imported-file soundings; layout and table choices survive restarts.
Science and reliability
- Updated to the corrected native sharppyrs renderer, including native MPL support, broader SHARPpy numerical parity, and the corrected squared streamwiseness formulation (ratio² × 100).
- Formula Lab table entries now retain content-aware formula identity and exact store provenance, so renamed outputs or reused labels cannot silently change the science.
- Sounding layout persistence preserves unknown future settings across upgrades and downgrades.
All six platform bundles are built by the signed release workflow and include SHA-256 checksum files.
