ECHO TOPS
Echo Tops are derived from NEXRAD radar and indicate the highest altitude at which precipitation is falling. Echo Tops at or above the altitude you select are displayed, in 5, 000 foot increments up to 70, 000 ft. Echo Tops can be helpful in determining the severity of thunderstorms.

WINDS ALOFT
Winds Aloft data shows the forecasted wind speed and direction at the surface and at selected altitudes. Altitudes can be displayed in 3, 000-foot increments up to 42, 000 feet MSL. Winds Aloft are displayed using wind barbs or a wind streamline depending on the selected range. The wind barbs always point in the direction that the wind is coming from. A short wind flag is 5 knots, a long wind flag is 10 knots, and a triangle flag is 50 knots.

SIrIuSXM LIGHTNING
Flight Planning Additional Features Hazard Avoidance
Lightning data shows the approximate location of cloud-to-ground lightning strikes. A strike icon represents a strike that has occurred within a two-kilometer region and within the last seven minutes. The exact location of the lightning strike is not displayed.
Lightning Data
STORM CELLS
The Storm Cells feature displays storms as well as the storm's projected path in the immediate future. 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.

METARS AND TAFS
NOTE: METAR information is only displayed within the installed aviation database service area.
Flight Planning Hazard Avoidance Additional Features Appendices Index
METAR (METeorological Aerodrome Report) is an international code used for reporting weather observations. METARs typically contain information about the temperature, dewpoint, wind, precipitation, cloud cover, cloud heights, visibility, and barometric pressure. They can also contain information on precipitation amounts, lightning, and other critical data. If METAR data is available for an airport, a color-coded flag is shown next to the airport. TAF (Terminal Area Forecast) is the standard format for 24-hour weather forecasts. It typically forecasts significant weather changes, temporary changes, probable changes, and expected changes in weather conditions.
