The La Crosse Technology WS-7078UF wireless forecast station does more than measure indoor or remote temperatures and humidity. Taking a page from local news broadcasts, it also forecasts the weather for the next 12 to 20 hours based on changing air pressure. Like the local news, it's about 75 percent accurate in its forecasts, with a weather icon in the center to displays its prediction. The unit employs a TX4U remote temperature sensor to display temperatures up to 80 feet away with no obstructions, and approximately 50 to 65 feet away if exterior or interior walls are in the way. The station is also appropriate for gauging the humidity or conditions in temperature-sensitive environments, such as greenhouses, darkrooms, or labs. The indoor temperature range is 32 to 140 degrees F, and the remote temperature range is -21.8 to 156.2 degrees F. Though the station comes with one remote, it has the capacity to read as many as three separate remotes. Other features include a radio-controlled clock with the time and date, dual alarms with snooze functions, and a 12- or 24-hour time mode. The unit is comfortable either hanging on a wall or free standing and measures 4-1/2 by 7 by 1 inches (W x H x D). Both the display unit and remote require two AA batteries.
