Storm Cell and Lightning Information

Storm cell icons 

➊

 on the precipitation screen indicate both the present position of a storm and the projected 

path of that storm in the immediate future. 
Red cones appear with a storm cell icon, and the widest part of each cone points in the direction of the 

projected path of the storm cell. The red lines in each cone indicate where the storm will most likely be in the 

near future. Each line represents 15 minutes.
Lightning strikes are represented by lightning bolt icons 

➋

. Lightning appears on the precipitation screen if 

strikes were detected within the last seven minutes. The ground-based lightning detection network detects 

cloud-to-ground lightning only.

, a tropical storm, or a tropical 

depression. A red line stemming from a hurricane icon indicates the projected path

Darkened dots on the red line indicate the projected location of the hurricane in 12-hour intervals, as received 

from the weather data provider.
