First of all. Loving the tempest. This is my 1st weather station and I am happy.

Last night we got some weather.

My Tempest dashboard shows lightning from a distance of 22-26 miles. When I go I to the graphs the numbers are in the 14-18 and 13-17 range for the 3 strikes it detected. How do I reconcile this?

I noticed the same thing with my station. It looks like it is correct on the web but not in the app.

Just installed my Tempest and noticed the same thing today on a storm that moved through. Web is correct and app doesn’t match. Does anyone know if it’s being addressed, or is there a fix?
