I never fly near weather that looks like this so I've never felt a need to dig into the symbols. But I've also grown tired of my ignorance in not knowing what they mean...

With that prelude out of the way, can anyone elaborate on what these highlighted icons mean and the numbers?
Numbers: e.g., 350, 500, 550
Symbols: both the blue dots and the red circular icon?
Arrows: Seem to show the direction of the cell's movement, but my interpretation could be wrong

Any guidance is much appreciated!

Ref: ForeFlight Legends (pg 17)
Numbers: Echo Tops (in 100s of feet)
Symbols: Blue = Hail, Red = column of rotating air
Arrows: Storm direction of lateral movement
Wow, I never knew there was a foreflight legend manual. This will be quite helpful. Thank you!
 
There are a whole bunch of guides on foreflight.
Had it 3 years and never knew that. I've just either learned from my instructor or just figured it out myself. The guide will come in handy for sure.
