I really like this but I just can’t get it to work properly on Leppard. Seems like an UPDATE is due ya think?

Best - Version: 1.4.8, 4/29/2008 10:06AM PST

Tried all the others and this one is the best. It uses very little CPU and fits perfectly up in the menubar looking just like it was meant to be there (put there by Apple itself). The preference interface is pretty clunky and there could definitely be improvments made there and in the dropdown menu gui. But, this is the only one I use anymore. Love the radar image (which the dev of weatherdock REFUSES to add) and once again, stable... doesn't use up CPU. The best.

I used Weatherpop for years before switching to Meteorologist. In that time, I've put up with Weatherpop's instability, the way it locks up every few days or just plain up and quits without warning.
Meteorologist has been rock solid so far. Not one freeze or quit from the app. The only thing I don't like is that the interface needs a lot of refinement. All this displaying is submenus seems worthless to me, forcing a lot of additional mousing, so I turned all submenus off. But displaying the forecasts on single lines is very messy and hard to read. The main information (temp and precip) should be on the main menu for each line, with submenus for the less useful information. Does anyone really think they can accurately forecast the wind speed for five days from now?
And how about a better name? Meteorologist is not only a mouthful, it's a pain in the neck to type. Luckily, I know how to spell, but I feel sorry for those less knowledgeable or hunt and peck typists.
