@aloftwalt I took a screen shot of the error message but of course can’t attach it either. I also get a message that as a new user I can’t submit a message or reply until after 120 seconds have elapsed.

@idefix37 Thank You. I tried to attach a 400kb file to no avail. I get an error in a red box in the lower right hand corner as it tries to attach the image.

@idefix37 Thank you for your reply. Is what you are telling me how the actual wind speed and gusts are reported? I’m curious about how the forecast gusts are computed. I’m not sure how to attach a screen shot from an IPad or I’d show you where my concern is. I’ll keep trying to figure how to attach a screen shot here.

@aloftwalt This is for the eastern United States where I’m currently flying.

Does anyone know why the various models are routinely forecasting wind gusts significantly higher than the wind speed. By significantly, I mean 3-4X or greater than the wind speed. This is very significant to balloonists.

@idefix37 it must be an intermittent glitch that I’ll have to get used to. I went back to the cloud base layer color and this time the color palette opened and I was able to modify it.

@idefix37 that is correct, however, it does not pop up on any of the lines when I touch the color for the line. I was able to modify the “Wind speed” but now I went back to try and edit it again and the color pallet won’t display.

@idefix37 thanks for being a moderator

@idefix37 to be able to make the color pallet selector larger to make it easier to select the preferred color.

When I click on the color indicator for the line to be modified, the color pallet does not open. I am on an IPad.

Also, is it possible to make the color pallet scalable,so that colors can be selected more easily?
