      Would really like the visibility animations of the Windstream and the Hi/Low pressure Fronts/Lines to help visualize the stronger forces of the overall weather movements. Would be nice as an optional overlay to a Radar or Radar+

      Thank you,
      Christopher/Zwergin

        @Zwergin Apologies, I meant to say "Jet Stream" and not Windstream.

          To visualise the Jet Stream in Windy you need to set Wind at 300 or 250hPa level with the Altitude slider.

          But you cannot overlay it with Radar, Satellite nor Pressure. Only with Wind.
          Here above I have shown it with Geopotential heights at same level, but you can choose to display Isobars (Pressure isolines) which are AMSL as here below.

          Fronts are not visualised in Windy because weather models are not able to plot them.
