This wireless weather device combines the functionality of a thermometer, alarm clock, barometer, almanac, and calendar in one sleek, high-tech package. While weather forecasts on television or radio provide information on conditions near the station, this gadget lets you know what’s brewing in your own backyard. A remote sensor measures external temperature, humidity, and barometric pressure--transmitting as far as 330 feet--while a built-in antenna receives precise, radio-controlled date and time information via an atomic clock. A large, easy-to-read digital face displays indoor and outdoor temperature and humidity. An icon and arrow represent the weather forecast based on changing air pressure outdoors, while a lunar graphic depicts the moon's current phase. The barometric pressure reading is accompanied by a histogram charting barometric readings over the past 24 hours. Other features include a calendar, time zone map, alarm with snooze, and a minimum/maximum temperature memory function. The weather station measures 4-2/3 by 9 by 1-1/4 inches, and can be mounted on the wall or stand alone. This attractive piece of technology makes an excellent gift for the gadget aficionado or Weather Channel-watcher. Like all La Crosse products, it comes with a one-year, limited warranty. --Mary Park
