One of the first things that most people want to know as soon as they go up (apart from knowing when the coffee is going to be ready) is what the weather is going to be like for the day. The WeatherNow II receives both current weather and a three-day forecast via MSN’s SPOT broadcasts — no subscription required. The downside is that it doesn’t work if you’re not in an area with SPOT coverage, which is a lot of non-urban areas, unfortunately.
