It displays an icon of the pending weather (sunny, cloudy, rainy). It also shows any combination of the 3. It notifies you of severe weather alert by beeping 3 times every 5 minutes or so and if you look at the screen, lightning flashes in the rain clouds. It has a box that reflects the trend (the arrow drops, stays level or inclines). It shows the time (and has an alarm) and the temperature. It also has "HiGlo" for displaying at night. Its waterproof and fits in the palm of the hand and comes with a built in lanyard so you can tie it into a PFD pocket I suppose. I don't remember how much it cost (probably $50) - purchased at West Marine. Highly accurate. Its the most sought after "toy" on all the camping trips so I recommend leaving it in a communal space while in camp to allow everyone access.
