@idefix37 Thank you! Yes, that selection is buried very deep. As an aviator, I suggest to any developer reading this, that when winds at altitude are selected, the "pressure" toggle should just change to Geop. Height, and then of course back to "pressure" when viewing weather at the surface.

Windy is not reporting VFR/IFR conditions correctly with METARs. 2.5sm visibility is not VFR in Class Delta. See screen shots from Windy and AeroWeather.

Perfection would need to include weather fronts...

Unless I'm confused, the isobars at a sea level, even when the winds are displayed at altitude. That is a big disconnect since the winds are manifestation of the pressures.

Am I reading this wrong? Maybe the isobars should be suppressed when displaying winds at altitude since they are very misleading.

This is maybe a settings problem. When I select to see airports, I'm only getting heliports. I don't want to see the heliports at all. Is there a way to see airports and not heliports?

Just verified this again. Windy reporting VFR at KPAO, but IFR at KSQL. Both are IFR.

VFR in Class Delta requires 3sm visibility. This report was 2.5sm and showing VFR. Compare to AeroWeather which correctly reported IFR. Same underlying data from the airport.

Exactly. So could you adjust the scale to the model? This would allow greater accuracy when scrolling through the NAM model. Fantastic app!
