Stations are grouped by function (more or less):
○ All weather stations ○ MSC auto hourly ◎ MSC auto 10 minutes ○ National: MSC, NavCan, DFO, DND ○ Snow: MSC, prov highways ○ Rain: MSC, prov forestry ○ Misc: Regional, airQual, water ○ Hydromet: River level and flowOr select a station owner.
Make sure your map matches the area implied by the owner.

Radar precipitation blocks all other layers but is transparent where there is no precipitation. Reduce radar visibility when the data obscures the underlying map too much.
