[Feature] Adjustable radar scale
-
Hi Windy Team,
A feature request I would suggest is the ability to change the scale intensity for the radar layer, similar concept to the 'New snow' layer with its sliders over particular days.
This would be really helpful as storms become more intense and users/meteorologist etc track different parts of a weather system with radar.
It would be great to change the radar scale intensity with sliders instead of going into settings/customize colour scale etc.

@anthony10 It would be great to change the intensity of the radar with a slider or button, king of like this image.

@anthony10 this is not planned to adjust the opacity of radar images.

@Suty Hopefully it’s something in the future that can be added, as the weather intensifies, I can see this feature being used a lot. Cheers

@Suty Could this be added to the wish list for the developers to discuss? :)
-
@anthony10 May I ask for the real usacase for this feature?

@Suty Being able to filter out low dbz returns could help clean up the display in cases of ground clutter and also to filter out returns from distant radars that are looking into the upper level of a storm.
In areas with good radar coverage, a composite like you guys offer will often (properly) show heavy rain near the thunderstorm's core but also an apron of light rain that is actually a different radar looking at the upper level of the storm.
I'm attaching an image from a non-Windy source that illustrates this phenomenon. It occurs on all composite weather radar displays, which is what Windy has. In this case the user would set the filter to remove the lighter returns ahead of the four storm systems circled.
