Wx is a specialized weather app for Mac OS X that downloads and processes weather information for the United States. Wx displays current conditions, forecasts, warnings, and radar for U.S. locations using high fidelity XML data from the National Weather Service. The app is designed for two specific types of customers: serious weather watchers who want detailed information and facts with no fuss, and casual users who want a fast, clean, and functional weather app.
Wx is crafted with attention to detail by an award-winning software developer with over 20 years of experience. Wx 6 has been reinvented from the ground up for OS X 10.7 Lion, but the app's new design and features are available on Mac OS X 10.6 too. Under the hood, Wx 6 has all new download and processing engines, and is faster than ever. It's more reliable than ever too, offering multiple levels of redundancy to handle severe weather events that can strain NWS servers.
v6.2 [Sep 30, 2012]
* Added option to use Notification Center (Mac OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion) to show new NWS weather alerts.
* Fixed issue with time zone offset handling differences between OS X 10.6, 10.7, and 10.8 that was sometimes causing incorrect day name labels in Pro Forecast graphs.
* Revised handling of alerts to only create notification when alert is new to the session.
* Revised NWS satellite map URLs (again) to deal with duplicate images coming from the NWS servers and overwriting each other. Please delete and recreate any affected maps.
Great FREE weather app with the following features: + hourly forecast for the next 24 hours, + daily forecast for the next 5 days.
