Simple representation of the output of a regional weather model being used for weather forecasting for the Olympics. Surface humidity is shown as pseudo-colored filled contour bands over a terrain map. Surface winds are shown via vector arrows, which are pseudo-colored by speed, also draped over the terrain, which is overlaid with coastline, river and state boundary maps.
