FORECAST ICONS: WHAT DO THE FORECAST ICONS MEAN?
Standalone Station: When operating as a standalone station, the forecast icons predict weather conditions over
the next 12-hours based on the change of atmospheric pressure with about 70-75% accuracy. As weather
conditions cannot be 100% correctly forecasted we are not responsible for any loss caused by an incorrect
forecast.
Forecast Icons for standalone station:
•
Sunny
•
Partly Sunny
•
Cloudy
•
Rain
•
T-Storm
•
Snow
Note: The “snow” icon appears when the temperature is below 32°F (0°C) and the forecast is rainy or stormy.
•
Your station calibrates barometric pressure based on its location over time to generate an accurate, personal
forecast. Please allow 7-10 days for barometer calibration.
•
IMPORTANT: As the Station builds memory, it will compare the current average pressure to the past forty day
average pressure for increased accuracy. The longer the Station operates in one location the more accurate
the forecast icons will be.
Connected Station: When your station is connected to the La Crosse View™ app you will see an additional 8
forecast icons from the Weather Service. Your forecast will update multiple times per day. The forecast icons
predict weather conditions for the next 3-6 hours.
Additional forecast icons when connected:
•
Windy
•
Light Rain
•
Severe T-Storm
•
Light Snow
•
Wintry Mix
•
Blizzard
•
