Indicates a data feed. Manual data entry is possible; however, data will be updated by the data feed the next time it automatically updates. This feature allows you to make temporary manual changes before the next update. Click to convert the forecast into a manual feed.

You can set all forecasts for the location to manual or automatic data feed at once.

Click an icon to toggle all to one feed type or the other. Click OK to confirm.

A old data indicator light tells you that at least one of your forecast days has stale, out-of-date data that requires your attention.

By default, this icon appears when weather data is more than three (3) hours old, though this stale data value is system configurable (Weather > Hours Before Old) . Contact Bannister Lake Support for assistance.
