What do you mean by this? 
Is a plot produced? 
You’re outputting to x11 so it will only be temporary.  At the top of the script you might want to change type =“png” or “pdf” then you can send the output to the script and detail what you actually wanted.

mpres at gsnDraw = False ;  may prevent the wrf_wps_dom() function from drawing allowing your to overlay your shape file polylines.   I’m not familiar with wrf_wps_dom() though, and the documentation I found online was particularly lacking. 


An example of why the plot isn’t what you want, will enable someone to probably either answer or forward this onto wrfhelp at ucar.edu
