an animated loop of the latest updates.
From the Home screen, select Information > Weather > Precipitation >
MeNU > NeXRAD Loop > on.
The time stamp in the upper-left corner of the screen indicates the
elapsed time since the service provider generated the weather radar frame
currently displayed on the screen.
Showing Cloud Cover

of the cloud tops.

by infrared satellites. Deeper shades of gray represent colder clouds often
found with cirrus or thunderstorm clouds. Lighter shades or lack of shading
indicate warmer clouds usually associated with stratus or fog.
