New User, Question About Current Conditions

Question

Hey there, I'm a meteorologist who found Rad Weather and has been having fun exploring it and giving it a whirl. There are a lot of things to like about it and I'm sure over time I'll have more questions and suggestions, but to start, two quick things:

  • First, would there possibly be a way to de-emphasize relative humidity and instead emphasize dew point? The relative nature of RH makes it less useful to determine how humid/muggy it is than just using dew point and I'd rather see that in more places than RH.
  • How is the custom JSON feed for conditions coming? I run my own personal weather station and would love to point the app at a JSON feed of conditions and get my back yard conditions into the app.
  • For the current conditions, how are they calculated? Are you using a local weather station if available? Just extracting a value from a model/blend? Both?
  • I often find the timing values for the convective risk unclear. Somtimes, for example, it will say PEAK 12-3 PM but it's already 5 PM...is that 12-3 PM tomorrow? In the past? I noticed in the latest update in the Daily forecast section you grey out time periods that have passed...just unsure if I'm looking at stale data or not in some places.

That's it for now! Keep up the good work.
