Very impressive!
I wonder why the weather provider is NWS, have you tested it on some US location?

Yes - but it was not Kennedy Space Center ;)

I don't know what location exactly but i think it was Roseville/California (Dons location).
Our weather was foggy the last days and i wanted a blue, sunny sky with some clouds for the screenshot.
