Weather Playlists

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:
