@wxgeek ,yeah,make a toggle button to flip on off

At surface and near the surface, geopotential heights have no sense and are not provided by the model. In Windy the very low level show the Geopotential heights of 950hPa

@wxgeek
I agree, it would be a good improvement.
In addition a Geopotential heights color shaded layer, not only as isolines, would be really useful. Making possible to display geopotential heights and isobars.

Even though only the current and past few hours of 500mb heights could be displayed on the satellite loop, it gives much better representation of the synoptic scale picture. Overlayed on a satellite loop, this allows a better understanding of current weather for the general public and those receiving a weather briefing that may not have a meteorology background. If can display surface pressure over a image, then certainly a 500mb pressure overlay is possible as well.

 

@bob423 Hi, the HRRR model is updated every hour for Premium users and 2 times a day for non Premium users.

@idefix37 Dear Windy,

Thank you ! My next wish is to be able to display the most recent 500mb heights on the satellite loop. This graphic has tremendous impact for weather briefings.

Hi again @wxgeek , just wanted to let you know about some new projects and improvements on Windy:

Windy started to display the so called CAP Alerts as a new (still kind of experimental) overlay "Weather warnings". You can also find fires on it.

Now you can extend the functionality of Windy by developing your own Windy Plugin. This way you can build all the features that you were missing on Windy.

What about dew point
