Reading a Weather Radar Map

Hey, quick question.

I just got the Foreflight App on my iPhone, and I've been tracking the storm that's over Southern California today.

What do the numbers within the cells mean, and what does that little icon with two arrows going around in a circle mean?

I'm guessing these are winds-aloft figures at specific points in the storm, and maybe the icon is an indication of swirling winds? Potential for a tornado? :dunno:

Attached is the screenshot with what I am talking about.

Thanks for the help :beer:

I heard from someone there is a one minute transmission delay on that app. I dont know if anyone can confirm that.
 
Since it's not a NWS map, I can't give you an answer in regards to the labeling.

I would contact the maker of the application for further guidance.
