The Weather Plugin section of the Content Settings screen allows you to configure the AxisTV Weather Plugin, a service that generates bulletins and crawls automatically based on settings established by the Bulletins | Create Weather and Crawls | Create Weather screens. The service regenerates all bulletins and crawls automatically so that all weather information displayed in the bulletins and crawl is relevant based on the time of day. The plugin works in conjunction with the National Weather Service Adapter (NWS Adapter), whose settings are also specified in this section.
