Why all of a sudden is my Watch 7 giving me weather alerts. Not even alerts, really, just daily forecasts.  I have always had the weather tile on my watch and I have all notification off for the app on my phone and have not allowed notifications on the watch for the companion app.  They seem to be coming through anyway and I don't want them or need them.  I know how to read the weather screen.  This is recent behavior starting last week. The notifications don't come from the weather app on my phone and no alert shows on my phone, so I don't know why it started or how to stop it.  Even if I wanted it, I've lived without it for years (with various watches) and I don't need Samsung deciding I need it now. Yes, it's easily dismissed, but every time my watch vibrates, I think it's a notification I want.  It's not even useful (maybe it will be during hurricane activity), but I don't need to know if the sun is shining - I have a 30-foot window.  Is it just me, or is it happening to anyone else?

I just started getting this as well on my watch. I thought I was hitting something to cause it to come up.

Nah, it's just another annoyance that Samsung decided we must want. It would be one thing if we could turn it off or on, but just to have it intrude is obnoxious.  Must have been a recent app update. I wonder if I'll still get it if I remove the tile? I have both the tile and a complication on my watch face with the weather, I do-not-need this notification unless it's a weather emergency like a tornado or hurricane warning. At least it only happens twice a day- once in the morning and once in the evening.
