      When you have a Weather Home Station. When it’s raining estimate amount of rain falling in the rain gauge per hour. Yet! Your radar estimates are way off. They’re super high.

      I don’t expect it to be exact. It can even be off. However, your radar estimates are really off. One day it was saying it was raining 18.1 inches an hour. My rain gauge said like 2.96 inches an hour.

      I understand that’s an estimate. Which means it’s not gonna be exact. Does it really need to be that far off?

      My other issue. I want to be able to track the storm movements. I should have the option to click on the cell. Then it will tell me if it’s moving south east north west, etc. it would be really cool to find out how fast it’s moving to.

      So it would be cool to see the estimated rainfall amounts which displayed left upper corner screen, with directions storms are moving. Example: 1.67 inches hour - South, East - 5 miles per hour.

      Also, when it becomes severe, I would like to be able to access the weather warnings very warnings. With your program but 100% yet. So if it’s in this program already, you don’t need to approve it.

        @choxmeier Hi, thank you for your feedback according to radar data. I appreciate the idea with clicking on cell to see the direction and speed. However, we are not planning anything similar now.

        According to inaccuracy in values, can you please specify your location and time of that value, or do you have any examples now?
