Hi toddy,
I would support such an idea where areas of turbulence would show up like areas of precipitation on a radar screen. I am not a meteorologist but did some forecasting during soaring competitions and take an active interest in meteorology. There is a lot of data and experience going into turbulence forecasts. So much so, that I believe the accuracy of a forecast based on only a few parameters is very doubtful.
What would, however, be useful is if there were a forecast product available which predicts turbulence in a way that SD can subscribe to it and display it as a map overlay.
Currently, we don't even have precipitation radar in Europe. Flying in the US is a whole different experience. There you get live weather, including radar, satellite imagery, the whole works, over the entire continent. I wish that Europe would move forward more quickly in these areas.
