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).

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!

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

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

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.

@idefix37 - Thanks for the clarification.

Lightning is not showing in the radar display on the app. I can see it on your website on my laptop, and on my phone, but not in the app. I'm using an iPhone 12 Pro Max, and have the latest version of the app. Screen shots attached.

@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.

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

@Korina - My position was central California, so Pacific Standard Time. The time shown on in the upper-left corner of the first screen shot was the correct local time.

You’re right, deselecting the option to display all times in UTC corrects this issue, but I’d prefer to see the UTC time so that I know what the correct time is anywhere in the world, and in the past the yellow line indicating the current time, and the line delineating the days, have appeared in the right places, even with the option to display all times in UTC was selected.

@idefix37 - Thanks for the info - that explains it. It's puzzling that the ICON model is still listed as an option for waves, since it stopped working so long ago. But I'll just ignore it for now.

When I look at Waves with the ICON model, there's no timeline, so I can't scroll the time to see the future wave forecast. Other models work fine. The ICON model works fine with other parameters - clouds, wind, etc. It's just the ICON model with Waves, on both my laptop and in the app.

@anthony10 - I saw that, thanks, but unfortunately it doesn't address the question of whether Windy will be adding that data to their service.

Is Windy planning to add the ECMWF AIFS model at some point?

It's not just the arrow keys; dragging the timeline slider in Safari with ECMWF only changed the cloud picture/forecast every three hours, not every hour (yes, I'm a logged in Premium subscriber, and was looking at the forecast within the next three days). And when I switched to the ICON model, then switched back to ECMWF, the timeline bar only stretched out to five days, not ten.

But I was able to resolve this by clearing the browser cache, plus cookies for Windy.com, restarting the browser, and logging back in. Everything seems to work fine - for now anyway.

@Ondřej-Šutera - since you weren’t able to replicate this I deleted the app and reinstalled it, and now I can see lightning.

@Ondřej-Šutera - yes, I still have this issue.

Lightning is not showing in the radar display on the app. I can see it on your website on my laptop, and on my phone, but not in the app. I'm using an iPhone 12 Pro Max, and have the latest version of the app. Screen shots attached.

It's hard to state how much I hate the new implementation of the weather picker in the app. Every time I move the map it appears and covers up part of the screen unnecessarily. But if I go to Settings and choose to auto-close it after so many seconds, then it disappears when I need it, like when I want to see rain accumulation for different time periods and with different models for a location. But if I set it to not auto-close, then I have to constantly keep tapping the X to make the junk at the top of the screen go away. Very annoying. The old implementation was much better. Sometimes new and different isn't better.

@Ondřej-Šutera Great, thanks!
