AppleScript and other resources for Lightsoft Weather Center (LWC) Last updated: February 25, 2012 With the unfortunate, but fortunately temporary, shutdown of Lightsoft Weather Center (LWC), existing users may find themselves orphaned with what is otherwise outstanding weather monitoring software.  The most important resource for LWC users is the new forum created for LWC and other Mac weather enthusiasts: MacWeather.net.  This page is intended to provide a provisional repository for tutorials, AppleScript tools, and other resources of use to LWC users.  When development on Lightsoft Weather Center resumes, the resources this page will probably be absorbed into the Lightsoft website as was true in the past.
