FORECAST ICONS INACCURATE
The forecast icons are determined by the station's barometric pressure reading. Please
allow 7-10 days for barometric calibration. Six forecast icons use changing atmospheric
pressure to predict weather conditions for the next 12-hours with 70-75% accuracy.
When Outdoor temperature is below 32˚F and the forecast is RAIN or T-STORM, the
station will display SNOW.
