The Weather Overlay provides weather icons that graphically display one of 14 

parameters typically reported in a METAR.  Each icon can be tapped to display the 
current METAR data in both raw and translated formats.  Color coded icons provide a 
quick visual representation of the current weather conditions.  Blue icons indicate VFR 
conditions, Green icons indicate MVFR conditions, Yellow icons indicate IFR conditions 
and Red icons indicate LIFR conditions.  The color coding applies to Station ID, Flight  
Conditions, Cloud Ceiling, Visibility, and Cloud Cover.  

Wind barbs and wind speed icons are slightly different where green is used to 

indicate winds of less than 10 kts, yellow is for winds greater than 10 kts and red is 
used for winds greater than 20 kts.  Colored icons are also used to show dew point 
spread where the spreads of five degrees or greater are green, spreads of three or four 
degrees are yellow and spreads of two degrees or less are red.
