Tools: python for making the image, Blender for the animation
The plot shows the 2-meter temperatures and 500 hPa heights (pressure in the middle of the troposphere) forecast for 18 UTC. The animation converts the pressure field from 2D contours to 3D.

That looks unhealthy. You should have that looked at, U.S.
Just like in real life, I’m in a massive depression
I’m a fan of this 3d depiction of geopotential height! Well done

Yeah, that’s what it felt like…
That’s a great way to depict the weather!
