Wind arrows commonly called wind barbs have not been the choice of Windy developers. Wind barbs are a graphical way to show both the direction and speed of wind. They were specially useful when weather maps were black printed maps, but windbarbs are still used nowadays even with numerical maps.
Wind barbs show the wind direction as wind particles do in Windy.
Concerning the wind speed, wind barbs give a 5kt speed span and are usually displayed at grid points of the weather model, for example with a 22km distance for GFS, 9km for the ECMWF model…
With interpolated speed, Windy brings more speed details as displayed by the weather picker. Interpolating wind speed with barbs is possible but surely not easy.
We must admit that the colour scale of wind speed is not very precise. This is reason why I have customised on my side the speed scale and calibrated it in Beaufort units.

At a glance I know the direction and the wind force.
You can in the same way customise the color scale to get a 5kt steps color scale.

I just drag the map to the white dot under the info "flag".

Remember that global models have a resolution between 9km and 22km ! So it’s impossible to display such a picture by weather models. What they show here is like a video game at very high resolution. For the weather forecast, maybe in 20 or 30 years....

@jmh2002 While that's all fine and good, that doesn't really help as to be frank I'm not looking for fun or to be a meteorologist I'm looking out of concern of safety and damage.

That said, as mentioned the hurricane tracker is not in the Android app and furthermore I don't believe a user should have to go to the mobile webpage/pc to see the hurricane tracker. And again while that page does indeed seem to provide a lot of information, during an emergency of an impeding hurricane potentially making landfall in my area I only want/need to know where and the predicted speed/category as mentioned.

Having a simple overlay with that would be the MOST helpful, 1 line of text is quick and easy to consume, but even the tracker in the Android app would be nice.
