We’ll have a 1.7.1 bug fix release before 1 Sep 2025 that will update the MetPy NEXRAD clients.
NSF UnidataIn conjunction with the AWS Open Datasets team, we are changing the AWS S3 bucket that contains up-to-date NEXRAD Level II archive data. There is a new bucket name and SNS notification topic, but no other changes. The legacy bucket name will be discontinued September 1, 2025. buff.ly/WVBvt26
MetPy 1.7.0 is out! Highlights include saturation vapor pressure (including over ice) and LCL calculations, automated high/low identification, and clients for accessing S3 archives of NEXRAD L2/L3, GOES, and ML weather prediction output (from NOAA/CIRA), and more! github.com/Unidata/MetP...
Release 1.7.0 · Unidata/MetPyHighlights
New analytic LCL calculation based on Romps (2017)
New saturation vapor pressure calculations, relative to both ice and liquid, using Ambaum (2020)

If you've ever wondered if those trig identities from school are really useful in "real life", here's a just-merged PR that fixes up some NaN issues in our frontogenesis calculation by using one of those identities to eliminate arcsin() (and associated numerical problems): github.com/Unidata/MetP...
