Weather

The ability to view weather allows an operator to anticipate possible impacts to the business in advance.  For example, if you own or operate a business in a beach community and the forecast calls for heavy rain the next day, you may need to adjust your labor to account for a change in customer traffic for that day.  Within Pegasus, weather is updated every three hours to keep you consistently informed.   

   As soon as you enter location information for your site(s), either during initial set up or at a later date, the weather forecast will begin to populate.  If you have not yet entered location information for your site(s), you will be automatically prompted to do so when you click within the the weather tile.
