          I do a lot of work with Prescribed and Wildland fire. 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.

            @ivo I think the weather warnings are a very good addition, anything that keeps us updated about what is happening now can only be good, and as or if it continues then I'm sure it will be greatly improved. Keep up the good work.

                Seems that this layer has problems with german warnings, example

                warnings by windy layer:
                0_1545234028332_2018-12-19 16_35_12-Meine Abwesenheiten - MyPortal - Internet Explorer.png

                and here the warnings by german weather service for the same area
                0_1545234079571_2018-12-19 16_37_39-Wetter und Klima - Deutscher Wetterdienst - Gemeindewarnungen aktuell.png

                Greetings from Tomber

                  Thank you! I believe it is an interesting feature.

                    I am not crazy about this feature. 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.

                      @tomber42 these warnings are of minor severity. we are not showing those in Windy. 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

                        @weatherfan we are not showing minor severity alerts by default. we had an issue with wrong expiration of US warnings, but that should be fixed now. could you please provide exact example at the time when you see some discrepancy? The layer is experimental, help us to improve it!

                          @kekert Just wanted to point you toward a specific instance where CAP Alerts aren't updating properly in the US, leading to misleading situation on the map: https://community.windy.com/topic/7784/missing-cap-alerts

                            @kekert Also, here's an instance where the "type of danger" is incorrectly displayed:
