Weather Reports

Weather reports provide detailed descriptions of all alerts generated along the route. For each alert, this report includes: the route leg, alert type, calculated entry and exit time into/out of the affected area, effective time, expiration time, and the certainty, severity, and urgency ratings. (The Weather add-on must be licensed and installed.)

There are three ways to generate a Weather Report:

    • Select the Routes tab > Reports > Weather.

    • Click View Report in the route window when an alert is displayed.

    • (Print only) Select the File menu > Print Report > Weather.

Double-click an alert in a report to zoom to that area on the map. Each alert has a time window and expiration time.
