A few gripes: Searching for weather data is a bit clunky (you enter either the zip code or just the city name, then search a list); only the Radar & Maps section provides information on all 50 states in the U.S.; and the small window size makes scanning maps a bit frustrating. Still, the program does provide access to a wide range of weather information in one spot--and it's free.
