Central Illinois Skywarn: Desktop Wx Details

Download the Desktop Wx program at http://weatherguys.com/downloadweather.asp

Some Program Details:

Get up to the minute severe weather watches, warnings, forecasts, current conditions, and weather statements from your local Weather Service Office for free every time you log on to the internet from the EMWIN weather source compliments of Xenocode, Inc.

This program automatically connects every time you get on the internet, and it does not interfere with normal internet operations. You can download the program at http://weatherguys.com/downloadweather.asp. It takes about 25 minutes with a 56k modem and only uses 5.1 meg of disk space. This program also comes with a news section, but the news can be deleted and not affect the weather portion of the program. If an alert is sent out while you are on the internet, a page appears on your screen and an optional siren is sounded. The program automatically updates every minute.

This program's minimal requirements are at least a 233 processor and 32 MB of RAM. This program should work with any computer; but the more RAM your computer has and the faster your processor, the better the program will work. It is recommended that your computer have a Pentium II processor and at least 64 MB RAM. But I have a Amd-K6 333 processor with 96 MB RAM and the program is working great. If you have any problems after you download the program, feel free to e-mail me, [email protected], and I'll try to help.
