With this La Crosse Technology internet-powered wireless forecaster, one no longer needs to watch the TV weather reporter recite the weather for every corner of the county to hear one’s local forecast. Not only does the Weather Direct WD-3102U four-day forecaster provide free internet forecasts transmitted directly to its display, but it also relays the outdoor temperature from right outside the front door with the included TX-50U wireless sensor. An included AC-powered gateway connects with a secure LAN cable to a network router for internet forecasts. Upon online registration, the user chooses forecasts from over 60,000 US and Canadian locations to send to the LCD.
The walnut-framed display stands alone, or wall hangs. The top LCD section displays the time, the indoor temperature, and the current day’s forecast, conveyed with the projected high and low temperatures and a forecast icon. In the center section, the forecast icons and high/low temperatures for the following three days are posted. Forecasts update every six hours. The selected location, location forecast, sunrise and sunset times, and outdoor temperature scroll across the bottom LCD section. Using the simple five-button interface, users view four additional micro forecasts daily: morning, afternoon, evening, and night. The buttons also enable LCD contrast and scrolling-speed adjustment, date display, Fahrenheit/Celsius selection, setting the alarm, and activating the five-minute snooze. Communicating with the display from up to 330 feet unobstructed, both the gateway and the outdoor sensor come with mounting hardware. Install the sensor out of direct rain and sunlight. No additional software or Wi-Fi connection is required, nor does the computer need to be on for forecaster operation. However, the system does necessitate high-speed internet service, a network router, and the separate purchase of two C and two AA batteries. A limited one-year warranty covers the forecaster.
