WEATHER FORECAST

The Angler's EDGE measures changing air
pressure and predicts short-term changes in
weather over a small area. In general, falling
air pressure results in worsening weather, and
rising air pressure results in fairer weather.
Rapidly falling pressure signals an approaching
storm, while rapidly rising pressure will result
in strong winds. The weather forecast is for
the next 6 to 12 hour period, over an area of
20 to 30 miles. The accuracy of any pressure-
based forecast is about 75%, although less in
areas where pressure does not affect weather
as much.
SEVERE WEATHER WARNING
By definition, severe weather occurs when
barometric air pressure has changed by 6
milibars (up or down) during a three hour
period. Severe weather, including wind and
rain, generally accompanies falling barometric
air pressure. Rising pressure will result only in
high winds.
When severe weather is detected, the unit
will give out an audio warning and flash the
weather icon. The alarm is muted by pressing
any button. The alarm will sound even if the
display is off, unless this feature is disabled.
To disable the severe weather warning, press
and hold the ñ button for three seconds while
in present mode. A beep will sound once. To
activate the alarm, press and hold the + button
for three seconds while in present mode.
A series of three beeps will sound.
