Storm Cells - Garmin G3X Pilot's Manual

STORM CELLS

The Storm Cells feature displays storms as well as the storm's projected path in the
immediate future.
The direction of the storm is displays by an arrow (at a range of 20 nm or less). 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. Pressing the ENT Key will display additional information.
METARS AND TAFS
NOTE: METAR information is only displayed within the installed aviation
database service area.
METAR (METeorological Aerodrome Report) is an international code used for
reporting weather observations. METARs are updated hourly or as needed. 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.
