A system includes a graphical user interface (GUI). Weather and market data are collected. A weather symbology including symbol elements linked to segments of the collected weather data and rules for generating weather symbology instructions are stored. The GUI is generated for display on a user device. A weather symbology instruction is determined based on at least one requested symbol element indicated in a weather data request and the rules. A weather forecast dataset is created from among the collected weather data based on the weather symbology instruction. A presentation package including the weather forecast dataset and the collected market data is generated such that the weather forecast dataset is integrated with the collected market data. The presentation package is presented on the GUI and updated concurrent with changes at least one of the weather data, the market data and user input. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A system comprising: one or

instructions that, when executed by the processing device, cause the data distribution system to: collect weather data from among the one or more weather data source systems, generate at least one weather forecast dataset from among the collected weather data, collect financial market data from among the one or more market data source systems, integrate the weather forecast dataset and a portion of the collected financial market data, generate an interactive graphical user interface (GUI) for display on the at least one user device, display, via the interactive GUI, a presentation package that includes the weather forecast data set integrated with said portion of the collected financial market data, and update the presentation package on the interactive GUI concurrent with changes to one or more of the weather data, the financial market data and user input received via the at least one user device, wherein the presentation package further includes an interactive presentation of one or more of at least one weather forecast map, at least one weather alpha region indicating a combination of weather forecast data and the collected financial market data, at least one weather perspective chart associated with a predetermined weather perspective workflow, at least one model status region, at least one watchlist region, at least one alerts region, at least one chart, at least one table, at least one weather grid, at least one analytic value and at least one user input window for customizing the interactive presentation. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The system

elements linked to segments of the collected weather data and one or more pre-defined rules for generating weather symbology instructions having a pre-defined instruction structure. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The system of claim 2, wherein the data distribution system is further configured to: receive, via the interactive GUI, input comprising a weather data request from the at least one user device, and determine a weather symbology instruction based on at least one requested symbol element indicated in the received weather data request and in accordance with the one or more pre-defined rules. ### Claim 4 (depends on 3) The system of claim 3, wherein the at least one weather forecast dataset is generated based, at least in part, on the weather symbology instruction. ### Claim 5 (depends on 3) The system of claim 3, wherein the weather symbology instruction is included in the weather data request or the weather data request is converted to the weather symbology instruction. ### Claim 6 (depends on 3) The system of claim 3, wherein the data distribution system is further configured to extract at least one segment among the segments of the collected weather data corresponding to the at least one requested symbol element in the weather symbology instruction. ### Claim 7 (depends on 3) The system of claim 3, wherein the weather forecast dataset includes at least one weather forecast stitched together from among the collected weather data in accordance with the weather symbology instruction. ### Claim 8 (depends on 2) The system of claim 2, wherein the one or more symbol elements are associated with one or more of at least one weather forecast model, at least one weather observation location and at least one predetermined weather workflow structure. ### Claim 9 (depends on 8) The system of claim 8, wherein the at least one predetermined weather workflow structure includes one or more of at least one weather alpha, a guidance perspective, a progression perspective and an accuracy perspective. ### Claim 10 (depends on 8) The system of claim 8, wherein the interactive GUI includes at least one wizard window for user-customization of the at least one predetermined weather workflow structure. ### Claim 11 (depends on 2) The system of claim 2, wherein the weather symbology further includes one or more weather variables comprising at least one of predetermined fields and predetermined conditions, the weather symbology instruction further determined based on at least one requested weather variable among the one or more weather variables received in the weather data request. ### Claim 12 (depends on 1) The system of claim 1, wherein the collected weather data includes weather observation data and weather forecast model data. ### Claim
