  1. Compute the potential temperature on the 850-hPa surface from GFS output, add the dewpoint values to the dataset, and plot over the CONUS.

  2. Compute the dewpoint temperature for 850-hPa from GFS output using the temperature and relative humidity, add the dewpoint values to the dataset, and plot over the CONUS.

  3. Compute the heat index of the 2-m temperature output from the GFS (you’ll need both temperature and relative humidity at 2 m), add it to the dataset, and plot over a local region of your choosing.
