your weather to come in the next 12 hours. This is
represented by 6 forecast scenes (sunny, partly
sunny, clouds, rain, t-storm, and snow).
When connected to Wi-Fi, the station will receive additional weather icons, chance of precipitation values,
and future forecast information. These enhanced Internet features are powered by AccuWeather.
