@ascom Would love to see the bug report you file!

Thanks

@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

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!

#3 (and also HRRR model integration)

Thanks!

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

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:

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

@kekert Just wanted to point you toward a specific instance where CAP Alerts aren't updating properly in the US, leading to misleading situation on the map: https://community.windy.com/topic/7784/missing-cap-alerts

Looks like that alert might not be reflected in the map because the last update to the CAP Alerts was a long time ago:

But given their importance, if CAP Alerts cannot be/are not updated much more frequently, perhaps the user should be notified that they are out of date...
