This image shows a complete view of any precipitation across North America, including the type and intensity. Rain, mixed and snow use different color scales to identify intensity. A legend is available that can be displayed onscreen to aid identification of intensity. The images are displayed as pixels on screen and the resolution of this feature is 2 km per pixel. Coverage includes the Continental US, Canada, and portions of Mexico/Caribbean.Cities and Surface observation stations layersThe Cities layer and Surface observation stations layer display symbols which represent the location of cities and surface observation stations respectively. The symbols used for surface observation stations also identify the type of station.Cloud top and Lightning layersThe cloud top layer provides a satellite image of current cloud coverage and the lightning layer provides symbols to show the location of recent lightning strikes.Sea surface temperature and Surface pressure layersThe Sea surface temperature layer uses color coding to identify water temperature. A legend is available that can be displayed onscreen to aid identification of sea surface temperature. The Surface pressure layer uses standard pressure patterns and Isobars to identify surface pressure.Storm cast and Storm tracks layersThe storm cast layer displays arrows that identifies a storm’s direction and speed. The storm tracks layer identifies a storm’s historic, current and forecasted path. Associated wind fields are also shown for the storm’s current location.Wind and Watchbox layersThe wind layer uses arrows or barbs to identify wind direction and speed. The watchbox layer uses red polygons to identify areas where severe weather is occurring or forecast within a specified range.Wave direction, wave height and wave period layersThe wave direction layer uses arrows to identify the direction waves are travelling. The wave height layer uses color coding to identify the height of waves, the wave period layer also uses color coding to identify the gap between waves. A legend is available that can be displayed onscreen to aid identification of wave height and wave period.Weather mode settings menusThe following settings menus are available in weather mode:Weather settings menuThe weather setting menu contains settings related to SiriusXM weather receiver data.Weather subscriptionYou can check your Sirius subscription status and data receipt from the Subscription settings menu: Menu > Settings > Subscription.Glossary of weather termsCommon weather-related terms and abbreviations.Previous topic: Chart app — Fish mapping modeNext topic: Chart app — Tides mode
