Radar now totally inaccurate

Is it now AI or computer generated rather than radar?

Too many ads. Can’t even read the info.

What have you done!?

The latest upgrade destroyed a great app. The radar on the home tab is 2 hours behind the radar on the radar tab, the temperature reading is 12 degrees hotter than 7 local thermometers that all agree ( 48 degrees locally vs 60 degrees on the app), and the traffic map only shows metro Savannah and 50 miles of ocean. Yes I know the thermometers are not calibrated and NOAA certified installations, but a 12 degree error is a LOT.

Hope it’s an unintended change

For years the past and future radar picture was provided. This update only provides past or the future radar maps not the combo.
