ScoutWx Now+, the next two hours from live radar; radar outages from the National Weather Service; and one Settings screen for every layer: THE NEXT TWO HOURS • ScoutWx Now+: Loops now run past the newest scan, carrying the radar forward along its own motion: up to 90 minutes on the U.S. and European composite reflectivity and precipitation rate, and up to 60 on a single radar's reflectivity (30 on a TDWR). Forecast frames come after a Now mark on the timeline, dashed and slightly faded, at the same pace as the scans. • Any Place: Long-press anywhere in the lower 48 or Europe, or open a saved place, for the next two hours there: when rain or snow starts or stops, how heavy, and 5-minute bars of the last half hour and the forecast. • On by default; one switch in Settings turns it off. RADAR OUTAGES • Offline Radars: When the radar on screen goes down, a banner says since when, with the start of the NWS office's message and a button to switch to the nearest radar that's up. • Status Pages: A radar that's down or has a message gets an ⓘ in the radar list, opening its office's messages and its state. Notices of planned work close for good with ×. ONE SETTINGS SCREEN
