About the 5-Day Weather Forecast
This weather station includes AcuRite's NEW precision 5-day
forecasting technology.
By determining your geographic climate region and observing sets of
weather related variables, like changes in temperature, humidity, and
barometric pressure, this AcuRite Weather Station can accurately
forecast the weather for your exact location. Preprogrammed regional
weather patterns combined with data collected by the wireless outdoor
temperature and humidity sensor allow for forecasts that include
probability of precipitation, amount of cloud cover, and high/low
temperatures for up to
5 days.
5-Day Forecast Region Selection
For the 5-day forecast to function properly, you will need to select your
general geographic region. The 5-Day Forecast feature analyzes
outdoor temperature, outdoor humidity, pressure changes and
geographic region information to give you the most accurate forecast
breakdown a single station forecaster can provide.
Quick Setup - Display Console
After installing batteries, the lntelli-Time® clock and calendar will
automatically set to the correct time, all you need to do is select your

The Precision 5-Day Forecast feature will be "learning and anylizing"
for the first five days after powering on or resetting. During this initial
5-Day learning mode the forecast will be less accurate. The weather
forecast will observe changes to learn your weather patterns and
increase the accuracy of the forecast.
Forecast Display
The Forecast display area gives you the predicted weather forecast
for the next
predicted High and Low temperatures.
The forecast is always analyzing the available data, and consistently
updates the forecast icons and highs/lows/precipitation chance as
time goes on. This will help you to generally plan ahead for the next
5 days.
The weather forecast icon will display the predicted weather
conditions. Below is an example of some of the forecast icons.

'r.p' icon indicating
Atmospheric Pressure is defined as the pressure at any location on
the Earth, caused by the weight of the column of air above it. At sea
level, atmospheric pressure has an average value of one atmosphere
and gradually decreases as altitude increases. Also called
barometric pressure.
The weight of the air mass, or atmosphere, that envelopes Earth
exerts pressure on all points of the planet's surface. Meteorologists
use barometers to measure this atmospheric pressure (also called
barometric pressure). At sea level the atmospheric pressure is
approximately 1 kilogram per square centimeter ( 14.7 pounds per
square inch), which will cause a column of mercury in a mercury
barometer to rise 760 millimeters (30.4 inches). Subtle variations in
atmospheric pressure greatly affect the weather. Low pressure
generally brings rain. In areas of low air pressure, the air is less
dense and relatively warm, which causes it to rise. The expanding
and rising air naturally cools, and the water vapor in the air
condenses, forming clouds and the drops that fall as rain. In high
pressure areas, conversely, the air is dense and relatively cool, which
causes it to sink. The water vapor in the sinking air does not
condense, leaving the skies sunny and clear.
Momentary Backlight
The display unit features a momentary blue backlight for easy
night-time viewing. The button to activate the backlight is located on
the very top edge of the display unit housing. Pressing the button will
give you about 10 seconds of illumination. Note that excessive use of
the backlight will reduce the battery life.
