      The new updates are, as always, great and add a lot of value to Windy. I'm once again asking you to add total precipitable water as one of the parameters offered for display. It's a great way to visualize moisture plumes and whatnot, such as this one later this week where moisture sourced from the Caribbean will be bringing rain to Norway and the United Kingdom.

      This sort of thing is critical for severe weather and atmospheric river forecasting and the current humidity and precipitation parameters don't capture it as well as total precipitable water does.

          This is a great suggestion. I know it can bring valuable use to windy. This layer can basically use the entire atmospheric column and then imagine if all that air condenses, that would be how much rain it could fall down. This also can be used for determining if it's a tropical rainstorm or a more temperate/wintry storm.
