The truth is, all the weather in the world is interpolated. Most people don't know that new _forecasts_ are usually made only twice a day (at 00:00Z and 12:00Z) (more frequent _forecast updates_ are actually just changing times in forecasted ranges).
That's why pilots don't like Windy actually. We prefer to read source readings and forecasts and guess-interpolate manually, no need in extra layer of complexity.
E.g. if I want to check visibility at my small airport, where no weather forecasts are made, I check a few larger airports around, and also learn today's "big picture" weather state (fronts? inversions?), to estimate what should I expect at my local airport.
It's like debugging a website software having raw DB data vs. screenshot.
