FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Weather Connections Launches Weather Depot(SM), Desktop Weather Software for Online Weather Information Seekers and Enthusiasts MADISON, Wisc., Sept. 25, 2003 -- Weather Connections Corporation, a leading provider of weather forecasting technology and Internet software applications, announces the official public launch of its Weather Depot(SM) software. The Weather Depot(SM) software application enables users to access current weather conditions, radar imagery, specific hour-by-hour forecasts for their zip code, as well as view numerous "TV type" weather maps - all in an easy-to-use, self-contained software application. Optimizing weather forecasting technology initially developed by University of Wisconsin professor, Dr. Greg Tripoli, and currently in use at over 250 TV stations across the country, Weather Depot(SM) delivers useful, precise, and accurate weather forecasts. Unlike most forecasts available on the Internet, Weather Depot(SM) provides specific answers to the most challenging weather forecast questions such as: precipitation type, timing, and amounts, as well as detailed extended range forecasts. "Our initial Weather Depot(SM) test launch has yielded exciting user feedback from over 10,000 registered users. This validates our weather communication theory that folks want easy access to reliable weather forecast information, convenience and flexibility in displaying the information they want to see, in an environment that isn't cluttered with pop-up ads and adware," said Weather Depot(SM) software developer and company co-founder Brett Wilt. "We recognize that there are many sources of weather information available online, but none of them offer a user experience that combines the best of television quality weather presentation with the flexibility and interactivity of the Internet." The basic version of Weather Depot(SM) can be downloaded free of charge, at www.weatherdepot.com; a premium version (retail price, $29.95 USD) is also available. Current Weather Depot(SM) releases are for users in the contiguous United States running Windows operating systems (Windows 98 and later).
