Meteorologist - Free Weather Program for Macintosh
Meteorologist is a free weather program for OS X. It allows users total control over their weather viewing, including simultaneous interlaced weather reports from multiple weather servers, multiple weather locations, weather alerts and much more.
We just downloaded it, and it's impressive. We think this will give Weather Bug a run for it's money.

Vista Weather Gadget Sidebar Update
We admit that we have a copy of Vista on our Mac. Yep - we run Vista using Mac's Bootcamp and we have to say - it's the best looking yet buggy version of Windows yet. We like the default weather gadget that comes with Vista, but the this tweak from a windows Vista gadget maker improves the Vista Weather Gadget.
- Tweaked the colors. The night time text should now be easier to read. Thanks to danilloOc for this suggestion.
- Fixed a bug with the day's high, where it was not switching to celcius and was reporting the wrong temperature. Thanks to OlivierMDVY for reporting this.
- Clicking on the widget now switches between the small and expanded views, instead of just hiding/showing the expanded forecast.

NOAA Weather Gadget Forecaster for OSX Dashboard
We just found this rather interesting little weather gadget for OSX - the NOAA Weather Center widget. If you're running on a Mac with OSX Tiger, you can install this little wonder. It has 4 main areas to explore once you enter your zip code or city and state: Forecast, Current, Radar, and Alerts. So far we've been using the Radar and Forecast - but they seem to be a little out of sync with our Ambient Weather Beacon, but it could be in the details.
