A New Product Just For You

We are unleashing a new service today - your personal weather forecast. 

We'll send them to you either as a text message, via Facebook if you "like" us, by email or we can also send a DM to your Twitter. Twitter and text messages are, of course, limited by 140 characters.

Now, the forecasts aren't a rehash of National Weather Service forecasts or computer models. You'll get our our own forecasts for a 5 mile radius around your location. We've been forecasting for small areas like that for a couple of decades. But if you are traveling or have a special need you can always contact us.

There is a catch. The service isn't free. We're charging $9.95 a month if you choose to be billed monthly. Or, $49.95 for an annual subscription (which works out to a little more than $4.16 a month).

Here's how the Facebook forecast would look:
Showers and thunderstorms are going to develop this afternoon with the heat of the day. An upper air disturbance will strengthen the storms, so expect some to be severe with hail up to 2" in diameter and wind gusts up to 95mph. Today's high 89-94, wind will be S-SE 12-22mph.  The best chance for rain will be after 1pm with up to 0.50" by 6pm.

Showers and thunderstorms will wind down around 10pm although there will be a couple of isolated thunderstorms hanging on until daybreak. Low 62-66.  Rainfall 0.01"-0.15".
Saturday.. expect a few afternoon and evening t-storms, mainly between 2pm and 8pm. High 90-95, wind N to NE 8 to 16mph. Rainfall will be less than 0.10".
Sunday.... a better chance of afternoon t-storms. High 89-94, wind E 10-15mph.


So, as you can see the forecast has more detail than the typical forecast.
