3. Set the name of the deck (e.g. Weather).
4. Modify the Locations dictionary with the locations you want to retrieve weather conditions for. The dictionary key should be the name of the location and the value should be the address.

Creating a Weather Deck

Customizing the Cards

Customize the cards to display exactly the weather information you want to display and nothing else by editing the MFCD - Current Weather shortcut.

This shortcut generates a card for a single weather location. The Card Result format that it returns has different content for small, medium, and large cards.

To learn more about the MFC Deck Card Result Format, refer to the documentation.
