in the following diagram you can see that the temperature uncertainty
after Sat, Jan 19th is HIGH.

ECMWF gives for Monday 21 for Cape Coral:
min temp. 34F but with high uncertainty (min temp. range between 27 and 56F).

@WeatherCenter
It is 75% "true" !

@TZ
how can I open (and see) a loaded plugin? (saws-warnings, skewt ...)

@macdev
I think you need an alert for "up to 0mm of rain" instead of "at least 0mm of rain".

.... maybe a different color (yellow?) for lightning (to be clearly visible).

@Tomber42
I think he wants a "new" airgram with more details for the area in yellow border

@Tomber42
He is talking about AIRGRAM.

@Tomber42
He asks for a clear sky ALERT.

@administrator
www.ourairports.com shows no activity since 2017
(in https://twitter.com/ourairports )

Maybe you have to think about getting data from another provider.

@regetr
I mean that the administrators of the site www.ourairports.com
must add METAR and TAF (this stands for actual and forecast weather) for LTFM.
When these info. added to ourairports.com then will be available to Windy.
I sent an email to contact@ourairports.com asking that.

Do you know if LTFM METARs and TAFs are widely disseminated by Meteoroloji Genel Müdürlüğü ?

P.S. I'm surprised that weather info. for LTFM are not available
even in www.flightradar24.com (world's most popular flight tracker).

@ivo
Please check if Windy uses HZEROLOC parameter for frz. alt.(ICON).
Read the comments above.

@idefix37
It seems that you are right!
So, I can give you those two explanations:

1. DWD ICON ref. manual is wrong
   

2. Windy uses a different parameter!

I hope Windy team will investigate that.

... also, I want to point out that,
acording to "Database Ref. Manual for ICON"
( https://www.dwd.de/SharedDocs/downloads/DE/modelldokumentationen/nwv/icon/icon_dbbeschr_aktuell.html ), page 33

for ICON model, the Height of 0 degree Celsius isotherm (short name HZEROLOC)
has MSL as a reference.

Thus, the frz. alt. from ECMWF and frz. alt. from ICON, are different!

Nuremberg's altitude is 314m

@Gabou971
Freezing level, (named Zero Degree Level (DEG0L) by ECMWF with ID=228024),
is the height of level (counted from 'surface')
where the temperature passes from positive to negative values.

Model's "surface" (named Orography(Z) by ECMWF with ID=129)
over rough terrain may vary a lot compared with actual altitude from MSL.
https://www.ecmwf.int/en/forecasts/datasets/set-i#I-i-a

It might be a good idea to have a Freezing Level chart using altitude from MSL,
where FRZ LVL = DEG0L+Z
