[ncl-talk] Strange issue on plotting

[Andrew Kren - NOAA Federal]

Hi Adam,
Thanks for the quick reply. There are no error messages when it plots the
two regions. I would say no to your second question. For example, for the
same hour, the regional map shows a totally different picture but the
zoomed in version is all one color. I am using the same HRRR grid to plot
both regions. Could it be that I need to use a different fill type (raster
vs another) since the data can be sort of non-uniform and NCL is trying to
smoothly contour it?
