Precision Weather Forecast

The display console features a weather scale, a graphic

representation of the rate of change for a particular weather page.

For most weather pages, this scale will simply show the rate of

increase or decrease.

For example, when pressure weather page is being viewed, the

scale example here is showing that the pressure is falling rapidly.

In this example, the outdoor temperature weather page is being

viewed, the scale example here is showing that the temperature is

staying relatively steady, with only a slight rise in temperature.

When the wind speed page is displayed, the weather scale converts

automatically to show you a linear wind direction scale. In this case,

the wind is coming out of the WEST at 12 m.p.h.

Forecast Display

The forecast display area gives you the predicted weather forecast

for the next 4 hour, 4 to 8 hour, and 8 to 12 hour time periods. Each

time-period will also display the predicted High and Low

temperatures, as well as the chance (%) for precipitation.

The forecaster is always analyzing the available data, and

consistently updates the forecast icons and highs/lows/precipitation

chance as time goes on. This will help you to plan ahead for the next

12 hours of weather at any given time.

The weather forecast icon will display one of 18 different weather

conditions. The Moon will show (as a simplified Moon Phase) instead

of the sun when the forecast time period occurs overnight.

Below is an example of just three of the 18 forecast icons.

Initial learning mode

The Forecast will not display predicted high or low temperatures or

chance of precipitation for the first few hours after powering on.

During this initial learning mode, the weather forecaster will observe

minute changes to learn your weather patterns and increase the

accuracy of the initial forecast. Note that the forecast will become

more accurate as it obtains more information about your micro

climate.
