    • GFS and NAM not updating

      There seems to be a delay in updating the GFS and NAM. Last update for GFS was 9 hours ago (ref 12Z), and for the NAM it was 10 hours ago (ref 12Z).

    • Please add freezing level in elevation above sea level

      I live in the mountains - the Sierra Nevada in California. Surprisingly, one of the hardest pieces of weather information to obtain is the predicted snow level for upcoming winter storms. The NWS sometimes mentions this in a Winter Storm Watch or Warning, or their Forecast Discussion, but not always, and the information they give is rudimentary.

      Windy has the option to show the freezing level, which is great, but it shows the freezing level for the altitude above the land, not the altitude above sea level. Showing the altitude above the land might work if the forecast models had, maybe, less than 1km resolution, but they don't. They average the elevation for a large area, so in the mountains it's very hard to determine what the freezing level above sea level, or the land, actually is.

      In the Airgram I can see temperatures related to air pressure, and I can make the conversion to convert this to altitude, but that's a bit painstaking. It would be so much easier if we could just see the freezing level in elevation above sea level. We mountain dwellers would really appreciate that feature!

    • RE: GFS and NAM not updating

      Still not updating. GFS up to 16 hours since the last update; NAM at 17 hours. What gives?

    • RE: ICON for North America

      @beaverbanker - I noticed that too - great! Not in the app yet, but I hope it will be soon.

    • RE: Please add freezing level in elevation above sea level

      Thanks for the tip @stitch. I had to look up how to see the sounding forecast (just right-click on a spot). I just need to click on a nearby spot, but someplace where the model altitude is lower than the actual elevation I'm interested in. Then I can slide the little bar up and see the forecasted temp for the right elevation. Works great. It would be better if there was a more straightforward way to get this information, but that's still helpful.

    • RE: ECMWF and BoM not updated (10 hrs)

      @idefix37 Not for me. None of the models have updated within the last four hours. Most recent was HRRR four hours ago, but it’s supposed to update every hour. ECMWF 11 hours ago, GFS 6 hours ago, NAM and ICON 8 hours ago.

    • RE: ECMWF and BoM not updated (10 hrs)

      @idefix37 now ECMWF and GFS have updated, but not NAM, HRRR, or ICON. (I’m in California.)

    • ECMWF not updating

      ECMWF hasn’t updated for 10 hours. The other models (US) seem to be updating okay.

    • Two bugs in mobile app

      First, under Clouds, if I tap on Fog nothing happens - the map is just blank. I have to then tap on the ICON model to see the fog forecast. It should automatically switch to the ICON model when I tap on fog, but it doesn't. It used to switch automatically, and it still does on my desktop, but not on my phone.

      Second, if I tap and hold on a spot to look at the Sounding forecast, subsequently I can't scroll the map. I can pinch and zoom with two fingers, and scroll with two fingers (soft of), but not with one finger. Happens every time I look at the Sounding forecast, which is often, so it's quite annoying. I have to quit the app and relaunch it to be able to scroll the map properly. Again, this used to work fine, and there's no problem with this on my desktop, only in the mobile app.

      I'm using an iPhone 12 Pro Max with iOS 14.4.

      @petra-pik - Still waiting for the next update of the app with the ICON global model. Any word on when the app update will be available?
