Set a specific forecast model for an alarm? ...2024

Is it possible to set a specific forecast model for an alarm?
*How do the alarms CURRENTLY work? Is it matching to ANY model? ALL? One by default?
Whenever I click on an alarm forecast day icon (on PC browser, under "My Favorites"), it opens up the ECMWF forecast for that location. *Do the alarms always use ECMWF, or is that just the default model when the forecast opens?
Some searching revealed this old post from 2021, but not much else: "Set alarms for specific forecast models"
As is, the alarms are tough to use effectively since it seems to be using the wrong/inaccurate forecast model as a trigger.
PS: Being able to set wind alarms for different altitudes would be great.

No the only model used by the Alarm feature is ECMWF, the default model in Windy. -
@idefix37 Thanks for clarifying. That is a bummer. The ECMWF is pretty bad at forecasting most areas in the continental US compared to the HRRR or even NAM. Effective alarms are (er, uh "could be") one of the few features that Windy offers that XCSkies doesn't...
