astronomical seeing layer

Hi,
Windy is very helpful, it provides a lot of information in a concise, easy to understand form.
One thing I was not able to get out of it is a map of the astronomical seeing conditions.

Seeing, as a term of art in astronomy, is essentially an aggregate indicator of air turbulence and its effects on the clarity of the sky images. It is affected by many atmospheric parameters. When seeing is good, observations are easy to do and provide excellent views - images of celestial objects are clear and stable. When seeing is bad (the atmosphere is turbulent), observations can be difficult - images can be blurry, stars twinkle a lot.
There are sites out there that provide a seeing forecast for various locations, for example the Clear Dark Sky site:

But a map of current seeing conditions, and hopefully with some forecast abilities, would be great to have in Windy.

Thank you.
