Product Description
Amazon.com Product Description
With this La Crosse Technology internet-powered wireless forecaster, one can check the projected weather without flipping on the TV, radio, or computer. The Weather Direct WD-3102U four-day forecaster sends free internet forecasts for the user-selected location to the display unit. A provided AC-powered gateway connects with a secure LAN cable to a network router for internet transmissions, whether or not the computer is on. Upon online registration, the user chooses the forecast location from over 60,000 US and Canadian locations. The forecaster also provides the outdoor temperature, measured from right outside the front door with the included TX-50U wireless sensor.
The titanium-framed display stands alone, or wall hangs. The current day’s forecast, internet-set time, and indoor temperature occupy the top LCD. In the center section, sky condition icons and projected high and low temperatures predict the next three days’ weather; forecasts update every six hours. The selected location, location forecast, sunrise/sunset times, and outdoor temperature scroll across the bottom LCD section. Additional function keys enable adjustments to LCD contrast, scrolling speed, and volume, Fahrenheit/Celsius selection, alarm setting, five-minute snooze activation, and viewing micro forecasts for morning, afternoon, evening, and night. 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. 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. The display measures 4-4/5 inches wide by 1-1/2 inches deep by 5-1/5 inches high.

Great Product,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: La Crosse Technology Weather Direct WD-3105U 4-Day Internet-Powered Wireless Forecaster, Titanium (Kitchen)
The weather direct weather station was easy to set up, the instuctions were easy to follow. If I could change one thing about the weather station it would be how it displays the outdoor temperature. The outdoor temperature scrolls on the bottom of the screen, along with a written description of the weather report, and the name of the city the forcast is for. I don't like that you have to wait for the outdoor temperature to show up. I would rather it was available on the display all of the time. So far, the weather reports have been quite accurate. Some of the "expandable" features that it lists in the product description are available only if you pay for a subscription. For example, you have to pay if you want to view forcasts for more than one location or want severe weather alerts. If you are only wanting to see the forecast for one location its not a problem. Overall, I'm very pleased with the product.
Edit: I'm not so pleased with this product anymore. It quit working after about 6 weeks and I haven't been able to get it working again. It turned out to be a waste of time and money.

Forecast accuracy suspect,
By Schimm (Ft. Worth, TX USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: La Crosse Technology Weather Direct WD-3105U 4-Day Internet-Powered Wireless Forecaster, Titanium (Kitchen)
Owned this for about three weeks before returning it. I began to notice that the high/low forecasting was frequently significantly different than my local weather newscasts. Sometimes up to ten degrees. And this was short term forecasting....just a day or two in advance. I know that no person/service is completely accurate but this seemed to err more than I would expect. I would have felt better about keeping it had I learned where 'Weather Direct' (the forecasting service) gets its information from. But, I found very little detail on this organization and I could not match its forecast against anyone else's. So, back it went. I think I'll try Bushnell. They get their data from Accu Weather and I have come to trust them.

Wish I had seen the reviews before I purchased this...,
By Reviewer (New Jersey) - See all my reviews
This review is from: La Crosse Technology Weather Direct WD-3105U 4-Day Internet-Powered Wireless Forecaster, Titanium (Kitchen)
I bought this just so I would know how to dress my kids for school...however, I was greatly dissapointed since the temperature forecasts are significantly off - sometimes as much as 10 to 15 degrees - and this is even for the current day. What a waste of money.
