@andrew-crowe
You’ll have to save it as a .KMZ file to maintain your custom icons, waypoints, etc. It’s basically the same thing as a .KML extension, but in a zip file format that will save your customizations.

@ascom Would love to see the bug report you file!

Thanks

@TomSlavkovsky Now that the the NOAA has announced that the upgrade to the GFS model is live (https://www.noaa.gov/media-release/noaa-upgrades-us-global-weather-forecast-model), do the GFS forecasts in Windy reflect the upgrade?

Thanks

The NOAA today announced a major upgrade to the GFS model: https://www.noaa.gov/media-release/noaa-upgrades-us-global-weather-forecast-model

The model now includes "a new dynamical core called the Finite-Volume Cubed-Sphere (FV3)." The NOAA believes this will result in a dramatic increase in accuracy, bringing the model's accuracy in line with or above that of other top models.

Does the GFS forecast in Windy already reflect the upgrades to GFS?

Thanks!

Hi @Mconniff , you're welcome. In fact, as it turned out, the cause of this problem was a mix of both (on the ground and with Windy itself). Our team is continuously monitoring this issue and some fixes have already been made. If any further problem occurs, please let us know here in this public forum. Thank you!

Hi @d-dickerson , what is your device and OS? Can you send a screenshot? Thank you.

Hi @Frankenstien , unfortunately these e-mail notifications (that should inform you about a reply here on Windy Community) are not working. You just need to log-in here and watch the notifications ("bell" icon) in the upper right corner. We're sorry about that.

Perhaps @mates-dolda could check whether it's possible or not? (We were talking about this issue some time ago when we still used the old NodeBB version).

Hi @Bebe1980 , thanks for your message. Do you mean the "Show 7 day weather at startup" settings in Menu? If this is the case, you're right, it is not working. It's either 4 day or 3 day forecast in the upper (left) corner, depending on the device.

Or if you mean anything else, could you please send a screenshot? Thank you.

Hi @markdj , thanks for your message and please check this link.

UPDATE:

ECMWF: from the end of the 6th day
GFS: from the end of the 6th day
ICON: the end of the 5th day
NAM: the end of the 3rd day

NEMS and AROME: OK
