In FliteDeck Pro, the time displayed on the Turbulence and Icing forecast overlays is referencing the model run time - not the time the forecast was completed. Once the forecast model begins, it takes about six to seven hours to complete, and then is published to FliteDeck Pro about eight hours after the model began.
This means that it's normal to see the forecast as being anywhere from eight to fourteen hours old, even though you're currently seeing the most up-to-date forecast. Please understand that the age is since the model began, not the time since it was completed or published.
