The chirps it emits when a warning or alert comes out can be annoying, but that can be deactivated. Otherwise, depending on how close the nearest station is to your place, it's nice.

The nearest station to my hall is right on campus, so its probably within a mile or two. The nearest station to my house is a community college about 20 minutes away. Other have said the stations are at local high schools.

It tells wind speed and direction, rain rate and totals, temperature, pressure, humidity, dew point, and wind chill. It has forecasts, radar, local alerts and advisories, and about 30 live cameras from around the area. It's easy to download and use and it's free.

Thanks. I think I will get it. I don't like putting anything on the computer that will hijack the system...
