Microsoft's Weather app now shows a weather news section on its front page. The feature allows you to browse through weather headlines and expand stories to read more about the weather in your area. You can browse through the biggest stories on the homepage or click "See All" to see more weather news stories.

The feature appears to be rolling out gradually or to be in testing. The update comes when the app bumps from v 4.36.201714.0 to v 4.43.21842.0. One member of our staff saw the update as part of a general release, while another has not seen the change yet despite checking for an update. The system that did see the update was not part of the Windows Insider program.
