Since clicking some instruments brings up other screens, I suggest a tap of the Altimeter instrument brings up the weather page for the associated AWOS. This would be handy for any flight, but especially IFR. I was flying home the other night IMC in moderate to heavy rain and dodging thunderstorms. I was tapping the nearby AWOS's along the route to keep an eye on the surface winds, ceilings and possible lightning activity and it would have been nice if the closest reporting station, which I assume is where the altimeter setting comes from, was a tap away.

Please consider a visual way to let the user know what Instruments can be tapped for more info. I've suggested a double line thin border before. Maybe fill in a corner of the box with a gusset, like the HIWAS symbology on VORs?
