August 10, 2009: (Version 2.3) - Nightly, between 3:00 AM and 3:30 AM local, WXSpots will send out a routine report from your weather station (which will not trigger the audio alert for routine reports if you are running 2.3). In addition to the weather station software already added in version 2.2, version 2.3 will also interface with Weather Display software, which supports LOTS of home weather stations! July 20, 2009: (Version 2.2) - Integration of home weather stations. Current data from your home weather station can be pulled from the routine formatted report form and reports of strong winds (30 MPH for routine and 50 MPH for severe) are sent automatically. Leaving WXSpots running and connected to your weather station is a great way to provide severe weather alerts, even when you are sleeping or not home. The more observers with weather stations that we have continually connected to WXSpots, the better our severe weather monitoring system will be! July 6, 2009: (Version 2.1) - Integration of WXSpots and
WXWarn! They each work independently as always, but WXWarn
will feed WXSpots data so all the information is easily viewed on
one form! - WXSpots will now accept more than 4 images to cycle through. (Click Settings > Graphic URL Source and then click the More command button at the lower right). - Away message feature June 19, 2009: (Version 2.0) - A whole new look! Significant

a browser window or lists. Added Quick Chat messaging features on the main form. May 17, 2009: (Version 1.8) - Added Quick Chat messaging features on the main form. April 19, 2009: (Version 1.7) - Enhanced messaging features. August 16, 2008: (Version 1.6) - Option to display automated alerts. March 3, 2008: (Version 1.5) - Added a structured format option for posting routine reports (severe reports already have a structured format) including additional forms for routine report entry and display. - Color coded status bar display events. - Added option to use Ctrl M to quickly display the message form.
