With a new partnership with Microsoft Corporation, The Weather Channel hopes to bring in more visitors to its site by adding extremely localized weather forecasts that show conditions in local neighborhoods and even on roads and streets. While the site receives traffic from over 35 million users a month, the Atlanta based company believes adding this unique feature will increase the amount of visitors or at least encourage them to stay longer.
The actual tool that allows people to check the weather is still in beta form, but does have potential. It already offers users the ability to check major intersections and most local areas such as parks, schools, airports, and golf courses, but The Weather Channel hopes to expand the area to include nearly every street in major cities.
