A new layer Cell Tops and an upgrade to Warning Polygons was released today.
The new Cell Tops layer displays large-scale storm movements, both direction and speed, and height in 100's of feet. If present, threat attributes HAIL, MESO, or TVS are also displayed. This layer is commonly seen in Radar Summary weather graphics used by pilots.

If present, threat attributes are displayed alongside each cell
