It would be awesome to be able to pin a location and search for another one. I'm always comparing between a few locations to get an idea on pressures and clouds around the area and being able to quickly look at those without a refresh would be really nice to have :D
It might overcomplicate it, but the Worst thing, while quite useful, would be more quickly useful if you could see the location of each element. E.g., show the low ceiling and then the ICAO code for that airport parenthetically, then high winds and another airport code. Quick way to inform intuition about where things are happening. In my region, I saw several items under Worst, but after scrolling down and looking i…
It's also possible to adjust the range (under the options menu), so that far away stations aren't shown and don't get included in the "worst" calculation.

Nice. Well done. I'll try it next time I'm flying.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
Love it, thanks. And: showing an "as of" time somewhere, expressed in Zulu, would be helpful.
The as-of time is in the METAR. It's the block immediately following the station identifier, e.g. 172054Z means the 17th of the month at 20:54 Zulu. That's the time of observation. You're right that the TAF doesn't indicate the time the forecast was published (although usually it's assumed to be the first hour of the forecast). If you meant instead, as-of meaning "when the data was loaded", that's true... Not shown.…
Correct, that's what I'm talking about.

I agree. I've thought about how to implement this and it's definitely on my radar. It's also possible to adjust the range (under the options menu), so that far away stations aren't shown and don't get included in the "worst" calculation.

To clarify, what you mean is to do a search and have the results add to the current result list instead of replacing it? Or you could mark individual stations on a result list as pinned and they would remain regardless of what searches were performed? That does sound useful. Thanks.
This isn't a general-audience type of project, but I think we have some pilots on HN so they might be interested. In general, I haven't made a personal tech project (outside of work) in years. So I finally got motivated by scratching my own itch, which is really all that is intended here. Ever since aviationweather.gov redid their website to be much more feature-full, I've found it very difficult to use on my very sl…
