@idefix37 Why not add it to areas where it is available. I'd hate to not be able to use it in the USA just because the rest of the world doesn't have it.
Bumping this topic. This is a basic necessity.
I'd love to be able to view the 6-hr average precip rate, MSLP, 1000-500mb Thickness model product. Not sure the best way to implement this but it would be super nice to have. Also the ability to select a default model. For example, the option to select a different model (or the most recently updated model) automatically rather than ECMWF being the default and having to change it every time.
@idefix37 This would be an incredible addition! Hopefully windy is able to implement it soon!
@idefix37 I've created this color scale if you're interested.
@idefix37 I was under the impression that if it wasn't a constant color step, the data wouldn't display properly. My apologies for the misinterpretation.
Also when you view the weather warnings product. Tornado watches show a thunderstorm icon. I'd love for this to be a tornado icon to decipher the difference.
So the scale has to be consistent from start to finish? That's kind of disappointing. Why doesn't windy just follow the imputed values rather than forcing a consistent step? Many color tables (especially radar reflectivity) don't use a constant step scale. See a few of my custom color tables here. I'd also love to see the ability to create non-smoothed color tables.
BUMP!
I'm currently running into this.
Thanks Devs!

@Bryant-Almany I'm interested about this, would you have any examples of other websites using precipitation types with their radar?
Here are 3 different radar software, all have precip type detection.
RadarOmega
GRLevelX
WSV3
Also almost every weather website utilizes precip type radar.
The Weather Channel
AccuWeather
Weather Underground
WeatherBug
Zoom Earth
Super important function (along with severe watches/warnings overlays)
This is something that is holding windy back from other weather apps. This is a crucial feature that almost every other app has. I'm not sure why it hasn't been added yet.
@Bradam123 I'd love a severe watch/warning overlay option as well. The Weather Warnings layer is fine, unless you're tracking certain storms via radar.

I'm new to windy.com but have a history of creating color tables for grlevelx,radaromega, and radarscope. However, I may start making more color tables for windy!

@u7xtv727 This would be a great option! I prefer looking at the short range models so I have to change it every time.
@idefix37 Overlays for Severe & Tornado Warnings and watch boxes would be very very useful! Hopefully it is considered and implemented!
Re: Severe Weather Alerts
Does windy have the ability to view US severe weather watches and warnings as an overlay? I'd like to view weather radar with severe watches/warnings & tornado watches/warnings overlay layer.
