Add gusty winds icon in daily/hourly forecast when winds reach a certain threshold. #1338

Open shadkeene opened 2 months ago

This ticket is probably related to #1290, in that we want either icons or wording to key in on severity or key message, pending what conditions are in the forecast. For this case, someone providing feedback noted that winds were gusting to 30 mph but there was no "windy" icon in beta.weather.gov. We need logic to identify when to use the "windy" icon. There will be many other cases for this too.

User story: I want to quickly identify a windy day/hour based on a windy icon showing up when a certain wind threshold is met.

Considerations:

Dependency

Feedback ID: 5853420. I see gusty winds up to 30 mph in the upcoming forecast for Monday, however there is no windy icon to go along with the sunny icon. There is also no mention of windy conditions in the hourly forecast. Hopefully this will be added soon.

Wind gusts seems to be working, but there is discussion around adjusting icons to better communicate conditions.

We will monitor feedback this and reprioritize if needed.

I did notice a little something about the wind ones. It doesn't look like we differentiate sky cover in windy icons. For example, when the API has "https://api.weather.gov/icons/land/day/wind_few" ("few" attempting to ID the sunny conditions accompanying the wind) as an icon, we use "spritesheet.svg#new_windy_cloudy". So we should do some work to align the sky cover noted in the api's windy icons.

@shadkeene @coreypieper can you refresh my memory, did we figure out why we're not receiving wind gusts with the API team?

Is that what's blocking us here? Is this an API ticket or a ticket for us?
