How do I view area forecasts?

When the FAA retired its Aviation Area Forecast in 2016, ForeFlight replaced its own Area Forecast and Graphical Aviation Forecast images with two new images: Cloud Coverage and Vis, Sfc Winds & Precip.
Both of these images are included in ForeFlight’s Graphical (HTML) Briefing, available to non-Dispatch customers who plan flights over the United States. To see the images, follow these steps:

  1. In ForeFlight Mobile, tap Settings > Flight, and ensure Briefing Format is set to Graphical (HTML).
  2. On the Flights view, create a flight plan over the United States and tap the Briefing button on the top right.
  3. In the Graphical (HTML) Briefing sidebar, tap Forecasts to see the Cloud Coverage and Vis, Sfc Winds & Precip images.
