new weather app design

Does anyone know what the colored bars are supposed to indicate on Apple’s redesigned weather app? I've read through descriptions on several websites, but they all brush over this aspect to focus on the flashier new features.

I get that the different colors represent different temps (blue = cool, yellow = warmer, etc.), and that the dot on the current day indicates the current temp. But what do the varying lengths and positions of the colored bars indicate? Usually Apple makes thing pretty intuitive, but I can't figure this out.

The lowest low temperature in the 10 days in your example above is Saturday at 31º.

That is the base point for the left end of the bars. The highest is 68º, which sets the base for the right side. Left=low temp, right=high temp.

The colored portions for each day represent the temperature range for that day relative to the 10 day low and high temps.

Thanks, but I still don't get it. The colored bar only fills part of the day, and it's all one color for many days, so how does it show a range? What do the length and position indicate? What does the blank (non-colored) part indicate?
