Abstract: A display system for remote weather conditions includes a plurality of remote weather data collection stations and a base unit which polls the collection stations for the most recent weather data. Communication between the base unit and collection stations uses wireless signals on the same frequency. The base unit stores weather data from each station in a buffer from which display signals are provided to a broadcast television display. The base unit is operable to complete a polling cycle before the buffer for a given weather station is depleted of data.
