WxWorx OnLine debuts

By Janice Wood · April 21, 2009 ·

wxworxWxWorx introduced today at Sun ‘n Fun WxWorx OnLine, an interactive graphical weather software for daily weather monitoring and pre-flight weather analysis across the United States and Canada.

Providing timely and accurate weather information directly to a user’s PC, WxWorx OnLine connects to the Internet and delivers high-resolution NEXRAD radar coverage, winds aloft, METARs, lightning and more in one application.

The software is available as a free download at WxWorx.com, and requires a monthly data subscription to WxWorx OnLine’s Aviation package. As part of the launch, the company is offering a free trial period until June 15.

“Our customers requested a weather solution that they could use with any wireless or wired Internet connection,” said Bob Baron, president and CEO of WxWorx. “Perfect as a part of pre-flight planning, WxWorx OnLine gives pilots the ability to check weather conditions even before they leave home.”

WxWorx OnLine’s intuitive interface enables aviators to view and interact with weather data at any point on the map by zooming into areas of interest to see greater detail. Since weather conditions significantly affect aircraft performance, WxWorx OnLine provides weather information in one consolidated location for daily weather monitoring. Utilizing a GPS device, pilots can check weather conditions in relation to their precise location, providing enhanced situational awareness.

WxWorx OnLine’s Aviation data package is $24.99 per month with no contract required, or $19.99 per month with a one-year subscription that is paid in full. The Aviation package includes: High Resolution NEXRAD Radar; High Resolution Canadian Radar; Precipitation Type (at surface); City Forecasts; TFRs; METARs; TAFs; County Warnings; Winds Aloft (at altitude); Lightning; AIRMETs; SIGMETs; Echo Tops; Freezing Level; Severe Weather Storm Tracks; Surface Analysis Weather Maps; Satellite Mosaic; AIREPs; PIREPs; and SPC Aviation Weather Watches.
