Turn it on in Layers › Weather. • Airport Forecast tab: the airport's NWS notices, Airport Weather Warnings, and the local forecaster's aviation discussion. • Weather › Live Satellite Feed: satellite loops, radar and charts, a warnings map, tropical products, text products and the dish's signal, in your theme. Warnings and discussions sync for offline use like the rest of your weather. The live feed needs a connection. LOCAL WEATHER A new first page in Weather: your home or nearest airport at a glance.
