Hail probability and alarming based on incoming hail clusters
-
Do you think you could find a live layer/s hail probability and include some alarms for incoming hail based on location, rate of hail cluster moving towards me, size of the moving cluster etc. This would be one of those functions that i wanted to implement myself since my car was damaged last year by hail. This would greatly improve usability of your app since you have alarms based on location. In slovenia we have app that creates a raster layer of hail probability...not sure where layer comes from. https://neurje.si/moznost-toce-za-slovenijo/ I know its not high resolution but when hail season comes Im all over it....

Windy offers a storm alert based on lighting.
You receive a notification when a storm (thunderstorm) is approaching your location.
Then you can check the Radar layer in Windy. When the echoes reach about 55 dBz, there is a risk of hail. -

Oh interesting. That's something I was looking for.
I will try to set my alerts to that value and compare results from other maps online.
Still, if there is a good chance that at 55dBz hail is aproaching it would mean high alert for me. So, filtering that raster layer would be very nice feature ;)

@gskrt
You can’t set an alert for a specific dBz level. But you can customise the color scale with, for instance a bright red, to enlighten the risk of hail.
When the Radar layer displays this color or the upper part of the scale, there is a risk of hail.

@idefix37 can't the dev make that when storm reaches a specific dbz like 60 you get alert like
Possible hailstorm near you
