      The spatial smoothing of the radar display makes it pretty but information is lost. Please provide an option to turn it off or at least way down. Thanks. Great program!

        Hello @ysojim would you describe how the information is lost? At a certain hour, the visualization reflects real data, we don't change it, just making the animation smooth when transitioning to the next hour.

          Information is certainly lost because of the significant spatial smoothing done to the radar data. Here's an example below, which compares the radar data at the same time and location from Windy and Radarscope

            Are there any thoughts on this from the Windy team?

              @mikecharles Hi, thank you for feedback, at the moment we do not plan to make significant changes to radar visualization, but it may change in the future.

                @korina I totaly agree with @mikecharles, it's a crucial information lost. It's better to send it rough.
