Why is the weather radar embedded in all the widgets for the app when the widget previews don't show any embedded radar? I chose the WFLD daily forecast widget because I'd like to know both the hourly and daily forecast, but it seems like, for that widget, in place of the daily forecast is the weather radar. I figure if I want to see the radar, I'll go into the app to look at the radar. And, there's no toggle in the app settings to turn off the embedded radar within the daily forecast widget.
