Dorian is currently (as of this writing) reported as 916 mbar ("Minimum central pressure") by NOAA.
But on Windy, the centre is shown as 956 mbar. (Or a near to centre isobar?).
Is there a reason for the mismatch? Can this be improved? Windy intense lows are consistently reporting higher than 'official' source actual minimal lows.

LOCATION...26.7N 78.2W
ABOUT 35 MI...50 KM ENE OF FREEPORT GRAND BAHAMA ISLAND
ABOUT 120 MI...190 KM E OF WEST PALM BEACH FLORIDA
MAXIMUM SUSTAINED WINDS...165 MPH...270 KM/H
PRESENT MOVEMENT...W OR 280 DEGREES AT 1 MPH...2 KM/H
MINIMUM CENTRAL PRESSURE...916 MB...27.05 INCHES

Or even readings at measurement stations?
A favourite video:
Wish there were a 2018 edition.
I get this when I turn on the weather radar display sometimes, or at the end of a real time "play".
Should look more like:
Frankly, I'd prefer the raw Environment Canada data overlaid, such as:
And, please turn off lightning and sound as defaults!
Windy runs far smoother in Safari than in Chrome. (Mac OS).
Title says it all. Amount sort of works (after currency conversion). But I want to be sure.

Another site has this. It is potentially in digital form (after someone has drawn it) and can thus be obtained. Perhaps some data trading is in order?
In science, time is generally represented as left to right so the the display as is, is correct in that sense. This carries to things like video progression as well. My 2 cents.
Is the accumulation amount for the 3 hours ending at that time. ie: at 10:00, 9 cm is forecast to fall between 7:00 and 10:00?
Thanks.
PS: Finally occurred to me why the hours seem wonky until I factor in our time zone... (-5 UTC) as the 3 hour chunks are UTC 0:00 based.
Edit : clarified.
Thks, but the question is "ending at that time" ie: in the image above is the 9 cm the accumulation between 07:00 and 10:00. Thx
Strange that Sudbury isn't on there.
In the meantime, just use Environment Canada's site. The new presentation has a lot of sucky elements (ie: not north aligned except in the middle longitude of Canada. Make's St-John's esp whacky looking...). But does have transparency settings for the radar image. Also shows US radar down as far as Puerto Rico, but the map is missing south of Ohio latitudes.
(The iPhone app Env. Canada is correctly north up).

As to Windy, I've requested they add an option to present the weather radar 'raw' (as Environment Canada do), but that's been ignored. The current algorithm often drops the last image or has strange artifacts.

I've mentioned this bug before. The radar display often loses all the returns for the last frame. I suspect this is due to the smoothing algorithm (or animation).
Frankly: I'd rather you just put the "return" point as delivered (intensity at that location) from the source and not attempt the smoothing/animation.
And PUUUULEEEAZE! Turn off the default sound and lightning.
What is showing:

What Env Canada is showing at same time as image at top.

Thanks, but a bit shy of what I'm looking for. Cheers.
7 days isn't "historical" so much as "recent". After some weather events I'd like to see conditions leading up to them. 7 days doesn't seem like too much to add.
What would it take to have the last 7 days of weather data available in Windy? Is it a question of server space and/or processing?
