      @idefix37 temperatures. temperature patterns. jet stream. jet stream follow ups / outs / stuff whatever turns up. what I mean is they have those lines with contour numbers on them of Goddamnit and if it's below a certain number it snows especially on high ground. This indicates some type of warm front may have suddenly turned up and caused the frozen rain to snow. for eg. so that's it - weather patterns show where the fronts might be and where they are colliding and scrapping/fighting with each other, so stuff like that. That was it - clouds. Check out the cloud cover because they are sometimes at the front of the fronts as it were and tailing off at the tails. Dunno for sure.

        Weather fronts seem to be sorely missing for a site with so much relevant weatherand it is a paid site at that and quite expensice to boot Fronts are essential in weather. since windy has nearly every concievable thing included how can they miss that? Just purchase it and include it from aviation weather NWS

          Well surely you have meteorologists on staff, draw some fronts! shouldn't have to say it, but, duh... :)
          I've yet to see a dynamically animated weather front map. And I'm sure a one can extrapolate the boundary, and you could be the first to have real-time fronts. That would be cool!
          Yes no model is going to show fronts, because they're kind of opinions. But regardless, a certain amount of Ingenuity can give us what we want, from the best weather app in the entire universe.

            Windy have no meteorologist in their staff. And as you imagine it, that would be a hard job to draw fronts 4 times a day, on the overall globe, with a hourly time stamp to get the animation you want, for, let say, the next 5 days. Today it’s just a dream.

            The Royal Institute of Meteorology in Belgium do it but only for Western Europe

              In this post, above, I give some ideas to visualize fronts with Windy. You can start by doing it, combine with what @idefix37 suggested you to do

                @yves70. Is there any reason why a computer can not draw fronts? It is very repetitive so a Computer algorithm should be able to do it.

                  Today, the role of meteorologists is still crucial to draw fronts. We need their expertise to do it even if AI and computer can propose something like here : https://www.nwcsaf.org/asii1
                  But the products are not yet very accurate

                    To complete my previous post, you can understand that if the institutes making weather models as ECMWF cannot propose something powerful to draw fronts, Windy cannot do it as well !

                          And which is the total area covered by the front map they display ?

                            Not to complain about the lack of fronts available. After all, your service is free and wonderful! However I do note that WUnderground.com provides this, with frequent updates. So it IS possible.

                                    Yes I know there are several weather app showing fronts.
                                    But do you know how they get them? They could have meteorologists in their team.

                                      @idefix37 @Tomber42 As exlained on their website, they have a team of meteorologists collecting and analysing data. This is the reason why they can draw fronts

                                        There is coded version of the Bracknell frontal analysis in WMO FM45 IC45 code which covers Europe and the North Alantic and which is updated every 6 hours.

                                        Not sure its possible to add it to your charts though but it may be worth taking a look,
                                        thanks,
