[FIXED] Snow chance 0%

Post by jmcmurry »

Pasha,

It is looking very nice here and picking up data from my PWS xml file. Only one strange thing is that in the inspector it is saying "Snow chance 0%" but it is showing the light snow in the landscape that we are actually experiencing. Probably something you have yet to work on but I thought I'd mention it. I like it a lot!

Jim, thank you :)

YoWindow displays precipitation chance in the weather forecast and from NWS only.
Precipitation chance 0% must be a rare case.
Do you see this anomaly frequently?

My guess is that NWS weather model sometimes produces snow forecast with 0% chance and it broadcasts it without a shame.
When YoWindows sees snow it does not pay attention to the probability, it just shows snow.
If there is no snow in the forecast - snow chance is not displayed.

Probably I should change YoWindow to block snow when precipitation chance is 0%.
What do you think?

Pasha,

I saw this in the inspector while in live mode so I was expecting to only see the actual conditions, not forecast. That is what caught my eye. I don't see anything wrong with 0% chance of precip in forecasts.
