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.  The 
exact location of the lightning strike is not displayed.

1)  From any page, tap Home > Map.

2)  Tap 

 and select Lightning from the Layer Select menu. 

3)  Tap 

 to animate the Lightning loop.  Each frame of the Lightning loop 

is time stamped.  The time stamp is just right of the play button.  Lightning 
information is available in one minute increments for the previous 45 
minutes. 

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.  The wind barbs indicate wind speed 

and direction.  The wind speed is depicted using flags at the end of the wind barb.  A 
short wind flag is 5 knots, a long wind flag is 10 knots, and a filled triangle is 50 knots.  
Wind barbs are also color coded to indicate wind speed.  Wind direction is depicted by 
the flagged end of the barb.  The flagged end indicates the direction from which the 
wind is coming.
