If any of you guys have Weather Watcher on the desktop. you can keep an eye on Rita.

Select United States /Southeast for the wallpaper image.

My options window does not look like that one (I just downloaded the latest version if that makes a difference).

When i restart the program the list is still not populated and it tells me i need to enter a city name, but then it can't find any cities...

I am not really fussed TBH, I will just uninstall it.

You don't need to change the active city, just the wallpaper. That image is [United States/South East] Sattelite

Just press the Print Screen key. Then open any art program. Paint will do. Start a new Image and click on Paste. Job Done.

I think the UK are going to get the remnants of Maria and Nate (two storms that turned NE into the Atlantic and didn't threaten the US seaboard)...
