Description
Who needs a meteorologist on TV when you can have the Weather Channel Professional Weather Center by La Crosse Technology in your very own home? Small and sleek with a silver casing, this station can be hung on any wall or perched on its foldout stand. This station displays the current weather conditions, records past events, and warns you of future storms, all on an easy to read LCD screen with adjustable contrast. With all this information all in one place, friends and family will be clamoring for your accurate forecasts.
- Several outdoor sensors wirelessly relay weather information back to the receiving unit by 915 Mhz transmission and can be placed up to 330 feet away from the receiver.
- Sensors monitor current outdoor temperature (°F or °C), humidity (%RH), barometric pressure (Hg or hPa), wind speed (mph, km/h or m/s, or Beaufort scale), and wind chill.
- Wind direction is displayed in 16 steps for greater accuracy than a simple "northwest."
- Weather forecasting function uses three weather icons and a weather tendency indicator.
- Storm warning alarm alerts you to dangerous weather conditions, including high wind speeds and extremely low or high temperatures and humidity.

Very accurate but display too small
Great device and accurate readings. The display is too small to read from anywhere in a room unless you are two feet away. Backlight feature would be helpful as well.

Comments about The Weather Channel Professional Weather Center by La Crosse Technology:
I replaced an older LaCrosse unit that I have had in service for about 6 years. New one replaced the old almost perfectly. I had to make up a new base to hold the rain unit as the new one is a bit longer than the old one was. Once installed I fired up the inside unit and after setting the date/time etc. I again had a working weather station ready for the winter. Much easier to program than my older unit.

Comments about The Weather Channel Professional Weather Center by La Crosse Technology:
EVERYTHING WORKS EXCEPT THE WIND GAUGE. THIS IS NOT A SERIOUS INSTRUMENT. I PUT IT THROUGH HURRICAN ISAAC AND HAD WINDS OF AT LEAST 100MPH AND I NEVER HAD A READING OVER 39MPH. THIS IS MY SECOND WEATHER CENTER BY LA CROSSE AND NEITHER HAD ANY ACCURATE WIND READINGS. I CONSIDER THIS WEATHER CENTER AS A TOY AND NOT TO BE RELIED ON. CUSTOMER SERVICE AT LACROSSE WAS OF NO HELP ON MY LAST CENTER SO I WILL NOT BOTHER WITH THEM THIS TIME. I WAS FOOLED TWICE BUT NOT AGAIN. I PLAN ON CANCELLING MY OTHER ORDER
