      Hello! I was wondering if it's possible to turn off the 1 hour future prediction (red part at the end) in the timeline of the weather radar overlay? I often don't find it as helpful/accurate, and it's a bit odd when trying to quickly scrub back and forth to see what the weather was like over time (both on mobile and desktop). I normally wouldn't mind the feature, but I really wish there was at least an option in the settings to disable it. If there is and I happened to miss the setting, where is it located?
      Thanks,
      Sophia

        Hi,
        If you don’t click on the red part of the timeline, you don’t get the radar prediction overlay. So there is no need to turn it off.

          @idefix37 I am aware, but I often like to quickly scrub back and forth on that timeline (it helps me see the overall movement of a storm), and it's kinda weird when I keep scrubbing over the red part, too, and even harder on mobile. I'd like for there to be a way to turn it off when I need to and have the whole timeline be what it used to be like before the red "prediction" bit.

            my vote here is they provide a way for us to switch it off entirely if desired.

              @idefix37 @SPriestPPG I also find this feature useless for my personal use. The prediction is always inaccurate because you really cannot predict development of convective storms. I also tend to quickly swipe back and forth to find the right path which will the storm follow and the forecast annoys me. I think the best way to deal with this issue would be to add a button to turn the prediction off.
