I suggest you ...

← General

provide 2 hours of activity

If you could see your way to providing two hours of animation (say 8 cells) instead of three panels, we could tell which way the weather was moving and how fast. The current three panels make that impossible and they are often incomplete, so we have no idea which one is accurate, or first. A reflection of how much we use and appreciate this service.

Thank you very much for your comment!

You are suggesting to offer 8 animation steps over 2 hours. One aspect is that it means loading more data then with 3 animation steps which we wanted to keep low.

You would not have an issue with this addtl data load?

Regards the present step you can also look to the minute or time counter on the lower left which shows which step is currently displayed.

Maybe that helps as well?

Please let us know.

Thanks,
Ken

    Thank you very much for this. Wondering if there is a way to make this standard,in config so we don't always have to find and click the 4h button. NBD. Clicking is not a monumental effort, but we'd never go back to 25 minutes now that this available.

    It occurred to me the way to do this economically is to offer it in config. I can where some would not want to wait an additional second. I myself have unchecked as may options for layers as possible to avoid both clutter and load rime. So perhaps there could be three choices - no animation, three panel and eight panel.

    I would not have a problem waiting for the data. It already takes a while for the system to load. Another few seconds wouldn't matter.
    I used to use something called fullscreenradar which took about ten seconds to load a two hour animation, but it was full animation, very smooth - and very useful. If you left on, it would automatically update. It closed recently, after years of faithful service, which is how I found you.
