Forecast highlights are available for the seven US regions (11 regions in the Energy Edition).

Highlights are updated twice daily, early morning and mid-morning.

Previous Entry

One past briefing highlight and its associated forum is retained on the Briefing page. Your forum question is attached to the highlight. As the highlight ages and is replaced your question is also removed.

 

Graphics

If selected, the Canadian region will not include the following graphics.

In addition to the text forecasts and discussions, graphics of current and forecast conditions are provided.

Your location last loaded in the Dashboard will determine the area displayed in the local radar frame. Click over the radar graphic to load the Weather Viewer for that area. Navigating to the Weather Viewer from the Briefing page in this manner replaces the geographic location previously loaded in the Weather Viewer. All other information such as selected layers, animation state, etc. will remain as it was last viewed. In the Weather Viewer you may zoom in/out, pan, add/remove layers, and animate data.

Radar

Specific graphics presented will vary by industry and season.

Path Graphics

Switch between the graphics using the tabs. The actual graphic or layered map may be reached by clicking over the image.

Note: The left tab on both the radar graphic and forecast graphic is the default. Each time the Briefing page is refreshed the graphics will return to their default tab.

 

Local Forecast / Current

The Local Forecast graphic includes the next five hours and the next five days of forecast data.

Access the complete Hourly or 15 Day Forecast by clicking the appropriate More Detail link. This data can also be reached by clicking over a location in the Weather Viewer.

Current Conditions

The Current Conditions graphic displays the current weather conditions provided by the nearest official reporting site. Specific data presented will vary by industry.
