Displaying the Forecast
Your console generates a weather forecast based on the barometric reading &
trend, wind speed & direction, rainfall, temperature, humidity, latitude &
longitude, and time of year. Included in the forecast is a prediction of the sky
condition (sunny, cloudy, etc.) and changes in precipitation, temperature, wind
direction or wind speed.
Press FORECAST to display the forecast.
The forecast ticker message
at the bottom of the screen predicts the weather up to 48 hours in
advance. The forecast is updated once an hour, on the hour. Predictions are made
for cloud cover, temperature trends, the likelihood of precipitation, timing, severity
and windy conditions.
Forecast Icons
The forecast icons show the predicted weather for the next 12 hours. If rain and/or
snow is possible but not necessarily likely, the partly cloudy icon along with the
rain or snow icon displays. When both the rain and snow icons display together, a
chance of rain, freezing rain, sleet and/or snow is likely.
Displaying Time & Date or Sunrise & Sunset
Your console shows the sunrise and sunset time in the same place on the screen
used by the current time and date. Press 2ND and then press TIME to toggle the
screen between the current time and date or the sunrise and sunset times for the
current day.
Note: See “Screen 4: Time & Date” on page 14 to change the console time and date or to
select a 12- or 24-hour clock.
Calibrating, Setting, and Clearing Variables
To fine-tune your station, you can calibrate most of the weather variables. For
example, if your outside temperature seems consistently too high or too low, you
can enter an offset to correct the deviation.
Calibrating Temperature And Humidity
You can calibrate inside & outside temperature, inside & outside humidity, as well
as any extra temperature/humidity sensor readings you have transmitting to your
Vantage Pro2.
1. Select a variable to be calibrated. See “Selecting Weather Variables” on
page 20.
