NOAA SPC Convective Outlook
===========================

Demonstrate the use of geoJSON and shapefile data with PlotGeometry in MetPy's simplified
plotting interface. This example walks through plotting the Day 1 Convective Outlook from NOAA
Storm Prediction Center. The geoJSON file was retrieved from the `Storm Prediction Center's
archives <https://www.spc.noaa.gov/archive/>`_.
