Testers wanted: Weather radar USA!
-
Really appreciate your efforts.
-
I would like to see a realtime feature that pulls in real time cam feeds from various sources. For example if you youtube Key West Live you can see various cams off the island, to be able to see fully what the wind speeds shown look like in reality.
-
I would also like to see wind speeds from the center outwards in MPH both realtime and projected. As far as tracking Irma this week windy.com has been accurate but it's been hard to explain to others what Category of a Category 5 storm would they experience base off where they are going to ride out the storm. I heard one meteorologist explain something along the lines that Hurricane Irma if you were 70 miles away from the eye you would experience it as a Tropical storm. I just found this interesting page http://www.hurricanescience.org/science/science/hurricanestructure/ .

@Jclaro another cool site http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/data/NGCS/lobjects/chp/structure/

This is an important improvement, especially at critical 'turning point' moments which is not yet available elsewhere. Great job! CT

@dzuremar Thanks!
-
@dzuremar I may be wrong, but I believe you can get a low tier access for free here in Canada? Or scrape it from EC's site if that's doable.

My thoughts:
-This is amazing, your ability to present large data sets is unmatched.
-The turtle speed is still far too fast for the minimum speed. When looking at radar loops I like at least half a second between so I have time to scan the area
-This may be because I'm used to Environment Canada's radar images, but is there a way to view it unsmoothed?I'm a marine forecaster, and your site has become an invaluable tool for me. I can't sing your praises loud enough (and sing them I do, I throw the url at anyone who will listen!), a sincere thank you.

This is fantastic!!! Windy and NOAA are my are my go to sites, both when Im home in the states and on my rock. Looking forward to seeing how the "final" version is/looks.

I'm based in Western Australia and have been using Windy for a couple of months. Excellent info for my needs and I've recently downloaded the phone app.
This experimental version looks good. Hope you can get the weather radar data for Australia - will be very useful in our cyclone season. At present I look at Windy first then at www.bom.gov.au for approaching rainfall. -
why not add other places
eg taiwan

@bkaupe
Mac 10.12.5 and Safari Technology Preview (beta)...Works awesomely for me -
@DrSteve78
Watching Irma bear down on us, best graphics i've seen to easily understand -
At the bottom right, there is a scale dbm, i think it says. Also says that we can change it but it does not. But Great job, I enjoy it a lot!
-
Amazing, very detailed, splendid job.

- Looks real good to me.....Look forward to any additions.

@dzuremar The data from the German Meteorological Office (Deutscher Wetterdienst - DWD) is freely available since a change in the DWD Act, which has come into effect on 25th July 2017. It also includes all the radar data - composite, raw and 2h forecast - from the 17 German weather radars every 5 minutes! http://www.dwd.de/EN/ourservices/opendata/opendata.html

Just found your site. Weather radar is a great addition. What I really like is the 12 hour time lapse. Great for watching the progression of storms. I live in Oklahoma so this will be great during tornado season.
-
Cuban radars could be added. This is very simple, because we use NEXRAD ORPG to proccess information from all our radars, so we export in NEXRAD Level II format. Please contac me if you are interested.

@ivo Would like to have seen depth of water so one can tell if there are surges and how deep they might be.
If able to be more specific, go into neighborhoods or possible specific addresses.
