### 5/5 — Red X meaning?

*2024-10-25*

It would be nice to know what the red X means on the lightning on the wether map. There is no key available or description.

### 5/5 — Great App

*2018-11-09*

I just have Two requests 
1. Your MPH arrow is backwards (when the wind is coming out of the north the arrow shows it’s coming out of the south). This is a probably easy fix.
2. Can you put road temperatures on the app? 
Thank you.
