This setting should solve your issue

@pgilbrea Thanks, I do not need anything, since there is nothing I can do. If Windy considers this behaviour as a problem, maybe they can help. If this will happen, I will be glad that I was able to demonstrate the issue in the test #2.
On a personal note, I think Windy is getting difficult to you use by unnecessary dispersion of user parameters distributed here and there with the glue between them missing.
@technoshaman
Stop what? The meteoblue model was integrated during Windy early years. It already relied on a form of machine learning (ML). No one asked for it to be removed. And now that the letters "AI" have been added to the model's name, that bothers you?
This model is definitively the best for temperature forecast in mountains and in other special areas.
@Suty Map model did not change when closing the local forecast which was changed suddenly to Meteoblue AI = exactly for the reasons you pointed out. We are 100% on the same page on this detail
But since I am not the stakeholder here, only a tester, and because that detail has nothing do with the original question, let's wait if @pgilbrea confirms that the application works as expected.
@Suty I said "Now, the map selection has remain the same, probably because Meteoblue.AI is not available for the region where GFS was." - so our conclusions are the same, for this region I used for testing. I think this is well understood. The rest of the application behaviour not always so.

According to one of your screenshot you are using the browser version and so you should see that:

In Windy there is a map of PM2.5 and a map or Air Quality Index. Your screenshots show you are using the Air Quality Index map.

In addition in Windy there are Air Quality stations in the list of POIs.

@pgilbrea Thanks, I will try the following, maybe it is close to what you want to do, sorry if I misunderstood what you are actually looking for.
You may be interested also in this bug report (not a bug, but a "feature", apparently): https://community.windy.com/topic/45246/how-do-revert-disable-meteoblue/10

FIRST TEST




SECOND TEST




THIRD TEST
STEP 1: RELOAD THE PAGE



(Metoblue.AI is the default if no forced model in local view selected)
Now, the map selection has remain the same, probably because Meteoblue.AI is not available for the region where GFS was.

I do not have no position about the above being a bug, feature, or does it make perfectly sense. Just wanted to test it. Hope it helps to understand the actual behaviour for further discussion, if any.
