AccuWeather.com Toolbar for IE Users

Editors' ReviewDownload.com staffJanuary 19, 2007This Internet Explorer add-on will keep you up to date on all weather-related news and information, but you can only view one location at a time and can't customize the toolbar. The AccuWeather.com Toolbar for IE displays an inconspicuous toolbar across your IE window. The toolbar's design is straightforward; it provides both current and next-day temperatures for your desired city, along with a corresponding satellite image and weather video. Hovering your mouse over one of the buttons will give you more detailed information, including the weather conditions and wind direction/speed. We especially like that you can search for cities outside of the United States, but not being able to view more than one city at a time is a definite drawback. A drop-down menu features other options such as the ability to e-mail weather info to a friend and updates on breaking news. But unfortunately, you can't add any of these options to your toolbar as all the buttons are preset. Regardless of its shortcomings, this free tool won't disappoint anyone looking to stay on top of the weather.
