Feedback from a user: I liked that as I travel to locations and look at weather (Denver, Florida, etc), elevation is important for hiking and understanding oxygen levels.
If clear to the user, it is often helpful important to display the elevation of the forecast a user is looking at AND the elevation of the observation that is displayed. This is especially important in mountainous areas. It will be a challenge to make sure the user understands (if we are showing two elevations) which elevation is for the forecast point and which elevation is for the observation location. We did explore earlier the "learn more about this observation" to show metadata, like elevation, for observations.
Considerations:
Show actual elevation of forecast point, observation, and difference
Use case, Shad's Forecast point is 2900 elevation, but his point is 2000
Show distance between elevation and forecast point
We have elevation for forecast grid (2.5KM) - hypothesis is it takes the average elevation
