Hi there,

Thanks for the question!  We are working on developing version 20 of AWIPS
right now.  Unfortunately we do not have a release date in mind just yet, but 
we are hoping to potentially release a beta by the end of the year.  We can aim
to make that beta available on Mac as well.
Version 20 moves from Python2 to Python3, so it will be fully supported on the 
latest version of Mac Monterey.

Sorry it's still a little down the road!
