Be prepared for chilly weather or impending rain with this WS-9153TWC wireless forecast station from La Crosse Technology and The Weather Channel. Using the included TX29U outdoor sensor, the station predicts weather based on the current temperature and barometric pressure. Three weather icons depict sunny, partly cloudy, or rainy conditions, while a tendency arrow indicates barometric shifts. In addition to providing the outdoor temperature and forecast, the station also offers the exact time and date with an atomic clock, measures indoor temperature and relative humidity, and records minimum and maximum temperatures and humidity levels with a time stamp.

The forecast station’s oval-shaped receiver stands upright on a pedestal stand for tabletop display; the stand detaches for wall mounting. With eight contrast levels, the LCD screen relays the time, date, forecast information, and current conditions. The station’s time resets daily and automatically adjusts for Daylight Saving Time via WWVB radio transmissions from the US Atomic Clock. With the function buttons on the receiver’s front, the user can opt for 12- or 24-hour display, select the time zone, manually set time, or turn off auto DST. The forecast station measures indoor humidity from 1 to 99 percent, indoor temperature from 14.2 to 139.8 degrees F, and outdoor temperatures from -39.8 to 139.8 degrees F. From up to 330 feet away unobstructed, the sensor transmits data at a 915 MHz frequency. Up to three sensors work with this station. For accurate readings, mount the sensor out of direct rain or sunlight. To operate, the separate purchase of four AA batteries is required. A limited one-year warranty covers this item. The station receiver measures 3-3/5 inches wide by 1-1/5 inches deep by 6-1/3 inches high. The sensor measures 1-1/2 inches wide by 5/6 inch deep by 5 inches high.
