We also looked at the H1H2, and saw that if you looked close the mountain wave areas were still there but without the mountain wave routes. The diamond "stay off" jet routes but not the deviation routes.

Which brings up, what is the status of the old weather shop at the OCC?

DAL opted to keep the Met Shop. Good on them.
I see some Turb plots in the weather pack and a few that come across from the company on acars. What I do is plot the lat longs in route two to show the area in regard to our route of flight. Seems to work well.
