I enjoy having weather information (outdoor temp, near-term forecast, wind, wind chill, etc) easily available at several locations in my home. At the moment I have several indoor-outdoor thermometers, plus an old Davis weather station with one anemic display, but I'm looking to have a more reliable, powerful system. I'd be interested in my own personal weather station, but as there are four WU stations within a half a mile of my house I'd be fine starting with internet-sourced weather only.
What would really float my boat is an app running on a dedicated touch-screen tablet (probably Android) showing continuous weather information. I'd have this always running on a wall-mounted tablet, e.g. by the front door. Android tablets can be had for under $50 each, so I could have one by the front door, one in the kitchen, and one in the bedroom. If the screen could handle being always on I'd leave it on (plugged into power); otherwise a touch would turn on the screen.
The main view would show outdoor temp, cloud cover, wind, wind chill, humidity, precipitation. Touching would give access to radar, history, etc. etc. etc.. Important feature: after a timeout period the display should return to the main view (so the next person walking along wouldn't have to click multiple times to get back to the primary information).
The effect would be a high-powered, attractive, dedicated weather display such as the AccuRite color displays, but more flexible and powerful, and not necessarily needing a local weather station.
One possibility would be the Weather Underground app, but it seems to be designed as something you bring up whenever you want to ask about weather, rather than something you leave running all the time and always shows the key info on a primary screen, returning to that primary screen when not touched for a while. Another would be Weather Display on a Windows tablet, but the cost would be too high, and I'd really like something less cluttered and raw.
Are there Internet-driven weather apps that are designed to be used as a dedicated weather display, not as one of many apps that you switch to on your phone/tablet?
