You've probably complained at least once about the weatherman providing an inaccurate forecast. That's why Weems & Plath reverts to the old-fashioned way of predicting the weather by releasing its Stormglass. According to the company, this instrument is effective up to two days in advance and is good at forecasting extreme weather conditions as well as fair, dry weather. This sealed glass chamber can be displayed freestanding or mounted to a boat bulkhead or wall with an optional mounting bracket. Prices start at $22.99.
