Weather Radar - Show Cloud Tops
-
Can you show cloud tops for thunderstorms? ForeFight does this and it helps to understand severity of the storm. Would be much appreciated...

@Piper-J3
You get it if you choose INFRA+ with the satellite view

No, I mean actual cloud top heights.... shown 40, 000 ft, etc..

@Piper-J3
These are actual clouds. Satellites show actual clouds.
Your title is Weather Radar. Weather radars show actual precipitation.
All the other layers are visualization of forecasted data, but not observed data.
So to which layer do you refer?
-
Weather Radar layer - I guess. See attached ForeFlight radar showing cloud heights - 43,500', 35,400', etc.
That is what I'd like to see in Windy.com

On ForeFlight, I understand that these altitudes are the top of the radar echo, not exactly the top of clouds.
Anyway, on Windy the Satellite layer displays the cloud top temperature which is a direct information on the cloud top altitude and so on the severity of thunderstorms (orange and mainly red)
