I have my 2902 connected to an Ecowitt GW1000 (GW1100 is the newer model) because my display had hardware/software issues and I didn’t feel like buying a new one. Ecowitt is owned by Fine Offset, the company that manufactures the 2902, so their stuff is fully compatible with the 2902. I don’t have access to AWN but it works for everything else (arguably more), and Ecowitt has something similar to AWN. The GW1000/GW1100 also supports accessories whereas my original 2902 display didn’t.

Works good for wunderground? I honestly don't really care much about AWN but would absolutely want to connect to wunderground.

Up to 80 here and mostly sunny.  Warmest of the year so far and since Sep 12. Perhaps a few stray 90s to challenge record highs today.  Onshore flow and some clouds later and Tue /Wed bring it down to the 60s with some showers. Similar progression as Apri 14/15 before it cooled down.  Warmer by sun/Mon but trough is lingering nearby through the 12th or so before any chance of sustained warmth.

Wunderground is natively supported in their app. I believe you just need the station ID and a password.

Edit: Apparently the GW1200 is the newest model, replacing the GW1100, but either one should work fine.

Historical:

 

1905 - The town of Taylor, in southeastern Texas, was deluged with 2.4 inches of rain in fifteen minutes. (The Weather Channel)

1910 - The temperature at Kansas City, MO, soared to 95 degrees to establish a record for the month of April. Four days earlier the afternoon high in Kansas City was 44 degrees, following a record cold morning low of 34 degrees. (The Weather Channel) (The Kansas City Weather Almanac)

1963 - A tornado, as much as 100 yards in width, touched down south of Shannon, MS. The tornado destroyed twenty-seven homes along its eighteen mile path, killing three persons. Asphalt was torn from Highway 45 and thrown hundreds of yards away. Little rain or snow accompanied the tornado, so it was visible for miles. (The Weather Channel)

1973 - The Mississippi River reached a crest of 43.4 feet, breaking the prevous record of 42 feet established in 1785. (David Ludlum)

1987 - A storm off the southeast coast of Massachusetts blanketed southern New England with heavy snow. Totals of three inches at Boston MA, 11 inches at Milton MA, and 17 inches at Worcester MA, were records for so late in the season. Princeton MA was buried under 25 inches of snow. (The National Weather Summary) (Storm Data)

1988 - Thunderstorms produced large hail and high winds in central Texas. Baseball size hail was reported at Nixon, and wind gusts to 70 mph were reported at Cotulla. Heavy rain in Maine caused flooding along the Pemigewassett and Ammonoosuc Rivers. (The National Weather Summary) (Storm Data)

1989 - Thunderstorms produced severe weather in Arkansas, Louisiana and eastern Texas, with more than 70 reports of large hail and damaging winds. Softball size hail was reported at Palestine TX. Hail as large as tennis balls caused ten million dollars damage around Pine Bluff AR. (The National Weather Summary) (Storm Data)

1990 - A storm system crossing northern New Mexico blanketed parts of the Rocky Mountain Region and the Northern High Plains with heavy snow, and produced blizzard conditions in central Montana. Much of southern Colorado was buried under one to three feet of snow. Pueblo tied an April record with 16.8 inches of snow in 24 hours. Strong canyon winds in New Mexico, enhanced by local showers, gusted to 65 mph at Albuquerque. Afternoon temperatures across the Great Plains Region ranged from the 20s in North Dakota to 107 degrees at Laredo TX. (The National Weather Summary) (Storm Data)

I often wish we had DC’s climate, or at least much less susceptible to BDCF’s.

82 here.

They certainly have a better late March to mid May climate as they often avoid BDCFs and the associated cloudy and easterly flow. If our winters continue to stink then I'd agree that they have a better overall climate considering their better Spring weather and as we both roast in the summer and have similar Autumns.

The console itself still needs to be connected to wifi though right?

The Ecowitt console yes, it connects directly to the 2902, it doesn’t use the original display in order to function.

back door fronts are thankfully becoming less common here too, they usually happen in early April and not this late in the month
