STORm CEllS
The Storm Cells feature displays storms as well as the storm’s projected path in the
immediate future.
The direction of the storm is displayed by an arrow. The map range at which the
arrow is displayed depends on the storm cell's speed. The tip of the arrow indicates
where the storm should be in 15 minutes. Critical information about the storm cell
(tops and intensity) can be viewed by selecting the storm cell with the map pointer.
Touching the Map Feature Button will display additional information.
