Abstract: Systems and methods for providing visualizations of forecast weather in accordance with information received from a forecast database. A forecast engine generates analysis and forecast grids indicative of weather conditions which is stored at a weather data server. A data processor receives user inputs and converts the grids into data representative of predetermined objects within a scene. An element generator generates the objects as graphical elements, and a render receives the graphical elements and renders the scene. The system automatically generates a plurality of scenes as a visualization of weather over a predetermined period of time in accordance the grids for previous time periods through future time periods.
