Surface Weather Observation Sectors Map Imagery
https://data.eol.ucar.edu/dataset/113.046

Summary
This data set contains maps of surface weather observations over several US
sectors (Central Mississippi Valley, Central Plains, Great Lakes, Lower
Mississippi Valley, Mid-Atlantic, Northern High Plains, Ohio Valley,
Southeast, and Upper Mississippi Valley. The latest observation at the time
the plot was generated was utilized, so the plots contain a mix of standard
hourly and special observations. The maps were generated by NCAR/RAL.
