Weather Tags
Not all readers/providers offer the same tags. For instance, some may not provide Humidity and POP info.
For additional records, tags should be labeled as such: ^weather[1].day1.weekday, ^weather[2].day1.weekday.
[0] = 1st record [1] = 2nd record [2] = 3rd record etc...

Comments
I didn't know they existed. I'd use them for sure.
You need to also remember that not all of our weather sources provide all of these details though either. So some of weather reader apps provide more details than others.
@Alain Savoie and @Randy MacCarthy (Unlicensed): These tag documentation pages are a great idea. This one for weather seems to be lacking some though since Flow also supports additional fields such as humidty, wind, pressure, sunrise and sunset. Are tags for these available or are they not actually in use in the player at this time?
