FWI Pointer

Hi,
I’ve begun using the FWI info and haven’t seen the neat little pointer move off of “Low”. In two days the humidity has gone from 100% to 30% in 80 degree F weather and it still says “Low”. What’s up there? Should it be rising?

Also, what’s the purpose of entering start values?
Thanks
Jim

Your FWI is below 7. That is why the pointer is at LOW. Look at
