UPDATE: This offer is now closed, but you can still try a 30-day trial of our Premium Service by clicking here.

If you've ever wondered what AccuWeather.com Premium could provide to you, try it today only for free, no sign-up, no credit card required (and most importantly - NO APRIL FOOLS!).

NOTE: If you're reading my blog on our Premium or Pro site, obviously you can disregard this blog entry.

Here are some videos to help explain what Premium does. First, Idamis and "Marketing" Megan take a break at a local Coffee Shop to talk about the new Premium in this promotional video:

What we tried to do with this redesigned product is give you all the weather you need on one page, free from the distraction of ads. The pages are customizeable so you can bring up whichever internal tabs you want.

But my title doesn't say "Meteorological Content Manager" for nothing. Let me tell it to you "by the numbers." AccuWeather.com Premium offers the following benefits over AccuWeather.com:




15-Days of Hourly Forecasts (vs. 3) 4-Day AccuPOP (vs. 1)


18 Years of Past Weather (vs. 2 month) 21 NEXRAD Types (vs. 1)




Improved MapSpace™ (Enhanced Radar) Interface... - 5 Minute Updates (vs. 15) - 24-Hour Archive (vs. 2) - 50-Frame Loops (vs. 6) - 63 Different Sizes Up To 1280 px (vs. 1) - Worldwide Satellite Coverage - Customize Geographic Layers - Storm Tracks & Lightning (Coming Soon)

More Products... (sample) - StormTimer™ (sample) - Current Weather Maps (sample)

Below, I give a brief tutorial to showcase some of the features of the new Premium site.
