    • RE: Missing CAP Alerts

      Actually, I can't tell what's going on, but there are definitely bugs to be sorted out. This was seen at about 11:17am ET:

    • RE: NOAA is about to make some big changes to its global weather model

      @TomSlavkovsky Now that the the NOAA has announced that the upgrade to the GFS model is live (https://www.noaa.gov/media-release/noaa-upgrades-us-global-weather-forecast-model), do the GFS forecasts in Windy reflect the upgrade?

      Thanks

    • GFS - FV3 Upgrade

      The NOAA today announced a major upgrade to the GFS model: https://www.noaa.gov/media-release/noaa-upgrades-us-global-weather-forecast-model

      The model now includes "a new dynamical core called the Finite-Volume Cubed-Sphere (FV3)." The NOAA believes this will result in a dramatic increase in accuracy, bringing the model's accuracy in line with or above that of other top models.

      Does the GFS forecast in Windy already reflect the upgrades to GFS?

      Thanks!

    • Innacurate Wind in Firefox

      Hello - I'm seeing inaccurate wind speeds and animation in one particular profile in Firefox for Windows (66.0b4). When I load a clean Firefox profile, everything works properly, but I can't stop using the profile where I'm experiencing the bug. I've tried disabling all add-ons, toggling all relevant settings, clearing cookies and the cache, and using a Private Window but the problem persists. No errors in the console. Happy to provide more information if useful.

      Edit: I'm also experiencing this issue on https://www.windfinder.com, so it must be something common to both.

      Steps to reproduce:

      1. Open Firefox
      2. Open Windy
      3. Select wind layer

      @kekert Also, here's an instance where the "type of danger" is incorrectly displayed:

    • RE: Innacurate Wind in Firefox

      Ok, having spent more time troubleshooting, I believe the steps to reproduce are as follows:

      1. Have a wide-gamut monitor
      2. Create a custom color profile for the monitor and have Windows use that profile
      3. Set gfx.color_management.mode in Firefox to option 1. (The default is 2.)
      4. Continue with steps in previous post

      That's a pretty narrow set of circumstances, but maybe someone else can reproduce.

      Anyway, by making some tweaks, I think I have it working now.

      Thanks!

      HRRR would be a fantastic addition for North American users!

      @Korina said in Innacurate Wind in Firefox:

      @Nrbelex Yes, this color setting actually causes to glitch Windy. I suggest changing the setting or using another browser.

      Korina, thanks for the confirmation. Since color accuracy is a priority for me, I have to keep this setting as is, but hopefully Windy will one day be compatible!

      Thanks!

      @Korina said in Innacurate Wind in Firefox:

      @Nrbelex Hello, you mentioned that if you load Windy in a clean Firefox profile, everything works. Could you please explain what settings you have in your profile? As I mentioned, some settings will cause this kind of behavior.

      I'm fairly confident the relevant setting is gfx.color_management.mode.

      The default is 2: Color management applied only to tagged image.

      I use 1: Full color management.

      Full color management (1) is the best setting to ensure Firefox displays colors correctly, particularly when using a wide-gamut monitor. It does, however seem to cause a glitch with the wind layer and many others.

      @Nrbelex Just wanted point out that this is still a live bug. Would love to see this fixed so Windy can work well in Firefox for all users.

      @ascom said in Innacurate Wind in Firefox:

      I've been experiencing this issue too in Firefox with all of your steps above, but with a typical sRGB monitor (Dell U2415). This seems like quite a messy issue; I'm filing a bug report with Mozilla.

      Did you wind up filing this bug report?

      Thanks

    • RE: Is there a way to see tornado warning and watches?

      I don't believe the list of watches and warning is complete. They might still be displayed, but under a different category - e.g. thunderstorms. See an example of this issue here: https://community.windy.com/topic/7101/windy-is-experimenting-with-cap-alerts-weather-warnings/16

      That said, I wouldn't trust Windy to accurately display warnings right now, particularly not for high risk events like tornadoes. See some of the issues I've noticed are listed here: https://community.windy.com/topic/7784/missing-cap-alerts
