### 1.2.0 — 2026-03-16

Major Changes:
- New behavior for FireWx map:
          - Users will be able to select a state on the map and see relevant fire weather alerts. When user selects an alert type, the map will be updated with zones affected by that alert. 
          - This allows users to see multiple alert types including Red Flag Warnings, Fire Warnings, Fire weather watches, etc. 
- Users will experience faster load times due to more efficient and less frequent API requests
- Fixed an issue where some zones did not load due to incomplete UGC format parsing
- Users can now save multiple offline forecasts from the same zone

- Swipe-to-close function added for premium screen
- Removed off-center X in premium screen

### 1.1.2 — 2026-03-14

Fixed an issue where NWS API was denying requests for zone alerts. This affected the map view displaying warnings, watches, and advisories.
