Wx is a specialized internet weather app for Mac OS X that downloads and processes weather information and forecasts for the United States. The software links to free XML data on the internet from the US National Weather Service, and presents it in an attractive user-friendly interface. Wx can be configured to track weather conditions, watches/warnings/advisories, live RADAR, and forecast information for 20 locations, and it can download up to 20 weather maps or images. Optional add-ons allow each user to customize Wx for their lifestyle, hobbies, and activities. Many add-ons are available, including hurricane monitoring, ski reports, marine observations, stream flow measurements, and tide tables. Wx downloads data on-demand, and can be configured to download data automatically on a periodic basis. Current weather conditions are summarized in the app's dock icon and dock menu, a floating "MiniWx" panel, and a Quartz screensaver. An optional data logging feature records weather information to text files. The WxAlert feature can sound an alarm, send e-mails or SMS text messages, or run an AppleScript when severe weather alerts are issued by the NWS. Wx can also export settings for an iPhone or iPod Touch, allowing it to use the Mobile Wx web app.
I have most weather apps and this is my favorite. Great

Pros
Works great for cities with commercial air service
Cons
I watch the weather for fishing and I fish near a town that has NOAA weather. I put in Zip and I tried coordinates, but the result was a town 50 miles away and 4,000 ft of elevation higher - otherwise I liked it for large towns.

Great Job!

This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />I love this program! The support from the author is excellent. As a pilot I have all my localities loaded, prognostic charts, and other useful flight information. Allows for METARs, TAFs and upper wind currents as well. All this in one program. Use it with Leopards spaces and have the weather at the push of a button. Great support. Needs a travel/flight planner and it'll be the only weather program you'll need. I wrote the same program with Applescript, but WX has a lot more to offer. Even works with the iPhone.
Very Nice

This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />I like this app, it doesn't have a smoth feel, as I would like. But I like it. Remove blank tabs is all I can suggest.
Great app!

App deserves more than 3 stars

Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />On my 2002 PBG4 Titanium, OS 10.4.3, version 3.1 of this app works fine without any problems noted previously. Contains more info than various other free weather apps I have tried, has an excellent design and interface, and is well worth the $10 shareware fee.
Would not work

Summary
This review was originally posted on VersionTracker.com.<br />I am using OS-X 10.3.9 and when I opened this little goodie it did not work properly and when I tried to close the window it would not close. When I tried to quit the program it would not quit. Finally got it to quit and (not sure what actually accomplished this) and I trashed it before I got into more trouble.
