It's that time of year where you don't quite know what kind of weather to expect when you step outside, and this TV weather station can help you look before you leap, showing you 11 different current weather conditions on any TV set.

Place the wireless thermometer, wind, and rain gauges outside, anywhere within 200 feet of the receiver you place behind your TV set. Using the data from those gauges, this smart station can figure out the wind chill factor, barometric trends, and can also give you a forecast based on weather conditions over the last three days.

This TV weather station costs $129.95, and that's not a bad deal considering weather stations from Oregon Scientific and Davis, the other two main competitors in this growing home weather station field, sell their PC-connected weather stations with similar capabilities for $250-$500. — Charlie White
