Alisa Astudillo (ID: 000000042a596a40) Voted 4 ★ - Updated 03/14/2024 I wish there was a 10 day or even a tab to take you to the 10 day. Other than that, love it all around.

ToneyBrooks Media (ID: 00000097f4acdbc2) Voted 5 ★ - Updated 03/12/2024 Best extension for weather available!!!

Brad R (ID: 00000083e1eb0fee) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 02/20/2024 A monthly fee for a weather extension? I don't think it's in the cards for people to budget MONTHLY for a weather report. Do we have to subscribe to patreon to get severe weather warnings in our area?

David McMahon (ID: 0000001ee6cd0706) Voted 1 ★ - Updated 01/26/2024 Where is the 10-day forecast. It has suddenly disappeared. And I haven't been able to logon to this extension for over a year or more now. Is anyone maintaining this or does it just get torpedoed by random backend changes and completely ignored?
