Highlighting in AeroWeather

Background

AeroWeather is a very handy app when flying, as it could list and get weather of multiple airports at once.

I just recently discovered that, under Settings -> Format -> Highlight Keywords, we can highlight adverse weather using regular expression!

If you want to build your own keyword, strongly recommend to use some sort of regex sandbox.
