I've been using the beta for a week and the more I use it the more I like it.
Here's an example of using the GFS PWAT field to plan a ski trip in California - after today's "Atmospheric River" event clears east, the weather people are talking about a "Mango Connection" for next week. Do they just make this stuff up? Anyhow, the PWAT field shows the moisture plume getting sucked towards Vancouver by a low off Seattle on Monday, but it gets redirected right towards my local hills near Lake Tahoe by Wednesday.
Monday:
Wednesday:
Knowing the plume source and it's shape tells me that I don't want to be there at the beginning of the storm because it's probably going to be raining - but as it mixes later with the cold air coming from Canada it's going to turn into another monster Tahoe dumpage fest.

Just used the new version for the first time and so far I like it. I use it mostly for sailing, and really like the showing of Lat & Lon when clicking on a map as it allows for exact location.

Hello great job so far and thank you. I'm a paraglider pilot, and its just awesome to use.
Great idea to enhance it with the lanching sites.
What about indicating on the map the take off acceptable wind directions ?
You could use a circle with two lignes around the paraglider logo ?
That way it makes possible to have a quick analyse off our possibilities.
It would be awesome.
Best regards. -
@Herrmann-Mathieu Good idea
-
All I see is an empty map here at my office desktop running IE 11. Not sure if the "wind" data gets blocked by the firewall or....old version works fine.
-
@jhnelson24 Works fine on my mobile however. So not sure if the new method for pushing across wind lines gets caught in firewall or not if it is IE.
Will try other browsers -
Works perfect on Chrome. Must be an IE 11 thing...
-
@jhnelson24 Trying to find out IE11 bug. Quite shitty browser

Hi Guys.
Good idea to open a bug forum for this beta.
Globally this preview is working well.
I noticed a bug with the ruler tool when crossing the 180° antimeridian.
Wind particles look faster/more fluid but my CPU gets warmer compared with previous version. I'm running on desktop computer/Mac/Chrome/Wind Layers. -
Coming. Not comming.
-
when clouds are checked there is wrong bar down 
-
I am a desktop user . I prefer the older user interface ( is more quick and intuitive ). The new menu bar is a bit confusing . Please if possible try to mantain also the older interface as option . Anyway regards for your great job

Aloha from Honolulu,
Love Windytv.com. Y'all're my home page!
If these issues haven't come up earlier...
... I tried the iOS app and immediately trashed it -- it simply didn't compare to the desktop version
... I use a permanent browser link on my iPad to access Windytv.com so it's the same as on my desktop... new "10" version seems fine, but looks cheaper
... perhaps the faster-moving wind and color gradations are at issue?
… anyways, the “10” version doesn’t feel “professional,” and I like the “pro feel”!Will still love ya whatever you do!
Warmest aloha!

I'm viewing the new version on my iPad but the text by the buttons on the left of the screen isn't visible:
Could you have a clear identifier on the screen as to the time of the ECMWF or GFS model that is currently being shown.
Also, when you click to pin a position play on the map (to sho local windspeed, for example) could you have the flag identify the lat / long for it? Thanks -
@GrahamK WOW you have completelly broken layout. Please what is your iOS version? Can try to switch off private browsing?
-
Great job! Thanks a lot.
Two suggestions
In "parameters recommanded for...Water", CAPE would be appreciated
In French translation, "visibility" has not been translated to "visibilité" -
Hi,
I learned about this app yesterday and I really love it. Do you have any plan for a Windows 10 app ? Best regards.

Hi all looks like while surfing from iPad the refresh and application of new layers did not work completely. It gave partial layers while moving from wind to rain and to waves. See attachments (iPad iOS 10.2)
Edit: can't upload screenshots I receive an error message. Would you kindly provide me an alternative way? Thanks
