WSI Rolls Out Advanced, Intellicast Interactive App
iPad users now have another free option for getting the
weather delivered to the popular portable device. WSI (Weather

the forecast with weather information for locations
world-wide.
"Combining an array of cutting-edge weather tools,
Intellicast.com's new iPad application now makes smart forecasting
information available to everyone on the go," said Jim Menard,
WSI's Vice President of Digital Initiatives. "Now, wherever and
whenever they choose, Intellicast users can get the same high
caliber of weather information they've come to expect from the
Intellicast site."

North America and the surrounding waters
