A method for presenting weather information onboard an aircraft, the method comprising: obtaining , by the at least one processor, a first set of weather data from aircraft onboard radar system; identifying a flight profile for the aircraft; obtaining , by the at least one processor via a communication device, a second set of weather data from external sources including at least one of one or more external aircraft, a satellite, a remote server, and a ground-based weather station, wherein the communication device is compatible with a communication protocol for the external sources, and wherein the communication protocol comprises at least one of a datalink communication protocol, a satellite communication protocol, a very high frequency (VHF) radio communication protocol, and a transponder communication protocol, wherein obtaining the second set of weather data comprises automatically requesting the second set of weather data for areas beyond a range of the aircraft onboard radar system, based on the flight profile; and presenting graphical elements comprising a first set of graphical elements associated with the first set of weather data and a second set of graphical elements associated with the second set of weather data, via a display device communicatively coupled to the at least one processor, wherein the second set of graphical elements include visual characteristics distinguishable from the first set of graphical elements, and wherein the graphical elements are presented using varying intensities of color associated with an age of data represented by the graphical elements, wherein: the graphical elements include a dashed arc representing an operating range of the radar; and the first set of graphical elements are in the form of a solid patch and the second set of graphical elements are in the form of hashed lines. obtaining , by the at least one processor, a first set of weather data from aircraft onboard radar system; identifying a flight profile for the aircraft; obtaining , by the at least one processor via a communication device, a second set of weather data from external sources including at least one of one or more external aircraft, a satellite, a remote server, and a ground-based weather station, wherein the communication device is compatible with a communication protocol for the external sources, and wherein the communication protocol comprises at least one of a datalink communication protocol, a satellite communication protocol, a very high frequency (VHF) radio communication protocol, and a transponder communication protocol, wherein obtaining the second set of weather data comprises automatically requesting the second set of weather data for areas beyond a range of the aircraft onboard radar system, based on the flight profile; and presenting graphical elements comprising a first set of graphical elements associated with the first set of weather data and a second set of graphical elements associated with the second set of weather data, via a display device communicatively coupled to the at least one processor, wherein the second set of graphical elements include visual characteristics distinguishable from the first set of graphical elements, and wherein the graphical elements are presented using varying intensities of color associated with an age of data represented by the graphical elements, wherein: the graphical elements include a dashed arc representing an operating range of the radar; and the first set of graphical elements are in the form of a solid patch and the second set of graphical elements are in the form of hashed lines. the graphical elements include a dashed arc representing an operating range of the radar; and the first set of graphical elements are in the form of a solid patch and the second set of graphical elements are in the form of hashed lines. <EOS>
