LA CROSSE, WI — January 16, 2009 — Today at the La Crosse Technology USA Headquarters, La Crosse Technology President Allan McCormick announced immediate availability of forecasts for over 60,000 locations to all Weather Direct® Displays.

"The beauty of Weather Direct® is the expandability of the service without any effort or investment by the end user. It's constantly growing and becoming useful in ways we never anticipated." The availability of 60,000 forecast locations puts Weather Direct® even further ahead of the nearest competition.
