Hello,
IDV works great if you want to plot real time surface temperatures or dewpoint temperature point values from METAR data. However, there does not seem to be a straightforward way to plot heat index or wind chill. Has anyone else figured out how to do this? Is this something that needs to get put in to IDV by Unidata developers?
PS: Gempak can do this easily just by changing SFPARM from TMPF to WCHT or HEAT 

Thanks,
Brendon
