Use the Weather Playlists module to create and manage weather forecast playlists and control the forecast location order for output. For example, you can create a regional forecast playlist for a specific broadcast area that includes many locations.
Weather forecast data are created and managed using the Content > Weather module, where weather data can be provided automatically when a data feed is available or entered manually.
From the home page, under Content select Weather
then select Playlists as seen below:
Add Weather Playlist

If appropriate, select a Content Group from the list to filter content by that Content Group.
Then choose a playlist, or enter a new playlist name and press the Enter key.
Move locations between the Available Locations list and the playlist you created:
Drag and drop locations from one list to the other.
Double-click on a location to move it to the end of the playlist or remove it from the playlist.
