“Don’t knock the weather. If it didn’t change once in a while, nine out of ten people couldn’t start a conversation.” The early 1900s quote by late cartoonist and philosopher Kin Hubbard has proven timeless as people discuss, analyze, and predict the weather with as much vigor now as ever.

In this spirit, ArcaMax Publishing (http://www.arcamax.com ) has added a feature on its site where viewers are able to access radar maps, forecasts and temperatures unique to specific areas. The company, a leading publisher of family-friendly news, launched its weather function this week.

“We envision our readers finding a lot of use in being able to stay on our site to get the weather,” said Managing Editor Hugh Spain. “The weather is such a popular news item and conversation piece; we couldn’t pass up the opportunity to get it on our site.”

The capabilities of ArcaMax Publishing’s weather tool include U.S. local and national forecasts for up to seven days in advance, temperature updates with expected highs and lows for the day, satellite and radar maps that show cloud cover and precipitation fronts, and weather advisories to keep readers current on changing conditions.

“The weather feature has so many benefits to offer Internet users,” said Scott Wolf, ArcaMax Publishing CEO. “After you check your local conditions, you can look for information on anywhere in the United States and there is a map to make this feature user friendly.”

Only a person’s zip code is needed to access the ArcaMax Publishing weather feature (http://www.arcamax.com/cgi-bin/news/channel/1045) for their area. ArcaMax Publishing readers can choose to have the weather feature remember their particular zip code. If a visitor visits again from the same computer, the current weather is posted on the front page of the site.
