<![CDATA[Windy is experimenting with CAP Alerts (weather warnings)]]>Windy started to display the so called CAP Alerts as a new layer "Weather warnings".

Unfortunately it covers only some areas like Europe, US, Russie etc

A lot of backend work was done by @kekert, a long time Windy friend and now our team member.

All your suggestions will be considered in this thread, or you can use the already running discussion: https://community.windy.com/topic/7086/weather-warnings-new-layer

Enjoy!

The layer is experimental, help us to improve it!

Check https://www.dwd.de/DWD/warnungen/cap-feed/de/2.49.0.1.276.0.DWD.PVW.1545364440000.260d9396-db21-42e4-ad71-44169e7e6e4b.DEU.xml for example

Some warnings it does not show. Today when one of the tornado warnings had just gone into effect in Florida, the warnings layer did not show it. Plus I already know that when warnings expire, they don't disappear for some time after expiration. This is why I won't use that layer. I will stick to the Weather Service Enhanced Digital Database or other sites for real time watches and warnings.

warnings by windy layer:

Keep up the good work.

Would it be possible to tap into the NWS red and yellow flag warning system? Love the site and use it all the time for work.

It's well done and I like it!

A dream come true for me!
At least it's actually accurate, but there are a few non-accurate stuff. For like, Today in Hungary (for example), it shows the wrong region where the warning should be (should've been the Northern Great Plain instead of Central Hungary).
(I don't live in Hungary btw, I was just saying an example).
For real though, thank you so much for making this dream I had come true! :D

I guess the only complaint I would have is that it doesn't update the alerts very frequently. (As shown by the screenshot I took just now) But other than that I love it. I understand this feature is still new so I know there is still lots of room for improvement. Just thought you should be aware.
