Video shows what’s new in the ForeFlight weather imagery

ForeFlight released version 7.1 last week, which significantly enhances the weather imagery section of the app. This detailed collection of charts aims to give pilots a more complete picture of the current and future weather by identifying potential hazards with hour by hour graphical forecasts. The new ForeFlight weather imagery section also adds a collection of long-range planning charts to help pilots monitor weather forecasts up to 7 days in advance, which is a welcome addition for long-range decision making.

To help pilots better understand the new weather charts featured in the app we talked with ForeFlight weather scientist Scott Dennstaedt at the AOPA Fly-In in Frederick, MD, over the weekend. Watch the video of the interview here:
