Updated 1/6/2019 – I have had the Atlas for a couple of months now and have similar options as I have seen others write about. Just as a note, I have had my 5 in 1 up the entire time to compare.
Pros: The temperature is reading 1.5 to 2 degrees cooler then my 5 in 1, which turns out to match the weather service in my area pretty close. We will see how it does when summer gets here. All the other readings are also lower on the Atlas as compared to my 5 in 1. Rain totals are really close to what my 5 in 1 reads. The Atlas in itself is a much more accurate sensor then the 5 in 1.
Cons: Lightning detector is a bunch of BS. I don’t understand why they charge 40 bucks for it on their website. How do you get lightning on a clear and sunny day? Does it pick up static from tree limbs rubbing together? What a joke! The new fancy HD display looks all nice and pretty but has a couple of MAJOR flaws. No battery backup for when power goes out during a rain event. The rain display is a bit of a joke as well. The display already shows week, month, year and rain rate. Why does the rain gauge for the day need to be set to an event. I don’t need to see a rain total for that last 48 hours or last 7 days in the rain gauge display. This should show rain for the day, and zero when there is no rain.
Don’t get me wrong, the Atlas so far is showing to be a better senor then the 5 in 1 but time will tell. They blew it on the lightning detector and the rain gauge part of the new HD display. That is why I took 2 stars away.
I purchased the Atlas to upgrade my Acurite 5 in 1 that I have been using for 4 years. At first glance I was impressed. The new Atlas is a much larger unit then the 5 in 1. The first thing I noticed was large increase in the rain collector. More square inches in the rain collector opening mean more accurate totals. The second thing that caught my eye was the 3 solar panels that power the fan for temperature control. My 5 in 1 only had 2 solar panels. And finally, the big honey comb looking thing hanging out the bottom of the unit. This is where the temperature is measure. With increase in air flow they claim it to be pretty close. Read Acurites specs to see how close. Time will tell if the Atlas can handle the heat and humidity down here in Houston. For anyone that looks at the picture and sees the tree in the background, my weather station is up 16 feet on a pole. Do to being surrounded by trees, up on a pole was my only choice. I am not too concerned about wind direction and speed, but more on rain and temp. Will update in a few months on how it’s doing.

Easy set-up, tons of information, and connects to Weather Underground for reporting!
I have wanted a PWS (personal weather station) for a very long time. I had researched many over the years and when Acurite came out with the Atlas model I decided to go for it.I like that it has all of the sensors, including the add on (yes extra cost but for Florida, its worth it) lightning detector. It also was highly recommended by Weather Underground, who I use for my local weather. If you're a tech buff you will like that you can hook up your PWS to the internet and it will add your station to the array of stations available to people all over the world. Mine is now reporting weather and conditions to WU and it is added to the overall records for the area.It was super easy to set up, all it required for my installation was an 8-foot heavy-duty galvanized pole to Mount it on, which I got a local home supply store. They recommend that the station be at least 6 feet off the ground to avoid temp interference with the ground. Mine is mounted 7 feet and over grass.When installing it, MAKE SURE TO READ THE DIRECTIONS! Installing the batteries, and removing all of the shipping tape and foam is important. I couldn't figure out why mine was not reporting rainfall until I went back and looked at the installation instructions. I had missed a piece of foam that was blocking the rain gauge from working. Once removed worked great! My error. Batteries are supposed to last a very long time (over a year close to two). he touchscreen display can be shelf-mounted or wall-mounted but does require a plug for power.Setup was super easy and connecting it to my wireless network was a snap. Once on, I signed up with Weather Underground and I was immediately reporting my data to the world! You don't have to do this if you don't want, but I thought it was nice my family could look up the weather right at my house anytime they wanted.If you are looking for an easy to set up, yet really reliable in depth PWS for your use, this is a great one and I have zero complaints so far. I did buy the extended warranty to be on the safe side. The photos show my installation, inside display (which I love mounted next to my rear French doors), and screenshots from my phone.The Pros are many, here is a list from their website:Manual set time/dateHour/minute and month/day displayHigh definition touchscreen color displayIndoor/outdoor temperature (ºF or ºC) with trend indicatorIndoor/outdoor humidity (%RH) with trend indicatorWind speed (N,S,E,W or degrees)Wind direction (Mph, Knots or Km/h)Rainfall (Inches or mm)Self-emptying (tipping bucket) rain gaugeBarometric pressure (inHg or hPa) with trend indicatorUV index and light intensityFuture forecast iconWeather records: highs/lows and accumulation by monthSnapshot of the current day or previous day weather conditions6 or 48-hour charts: outdoor temperature, humidity, barometric pressure, UV, light intensity, wind speed and rainfallSD card slot for saving detailed historical weather data: display stores 48 hours of readings in its local memory, use an SD card (not included) to automatically log historical data beyond 48 hoursTouchscreen dashboards for detail weather data and conditionsProgrammable alarms: time, temperature, humidity, wind speed, rain & forecasted stormsIlluminated high definition color display; backlight remains on (off option)Display unit powered by AC adapter (In the event of a power outage the display retains records on the on-board memory, only time and date must be reset)Auto-dim and sleep modesTabletop or wall-mountable designEasy to use and installs in minutesSensor-based forecasting data5 features built into one weather sensor: temperature, humidity, wind speed, wind direction & rainfallThree solar panels for fan aspiration, increasing accuracy of outdoor temperature and humidityDurable, weather-resistant constructionWireless technology transmits data through walls & long distancesStrong signal penetration (enhanced 433 MHz)The outdoor weather sensor can be mounted to any horizontal or vertical flat surface with the included mounting bracket.

First we mounted our at 6'. We are always wanting to know what our surface conditions are. We work outside a lot in Arizona and the temperature and the feels like temperatures can vary a lot. Especially when you are in direct sunlight.
This has proven to be very accurate in all of its readings. We have tracked them with the sorta local weather station, and other weather stations in our area. Temperature is dead on other local readings. Humidity has been within a point of the local weather reading which is 25 miles away and at 5000 feet, we are at 4300.
Wind meter has also been very accurate, along with heat index and barometric pressure. It also gives you the UV index and that is important to keep up with in our sun. The UV destroys everything out here and skin cancer is very common due to the UV "s intensity.
The only thing that has not been accurate is the next 12-24 hours forecast. I honestly believe this is due to being in a desert. It will forecast rain and the indicators could very well indicate rain anywhere else.
We have had a little bit of rain since we placed this and at.33 inches it matches other weather stations around me. We had no problems getting it online. I saw reviews where this was difficult. Ours linked up without any issues and it's up on weather underground as well. Overall my wife and I are very happy with this station. We looked at other much more expensive stations and are glad we settled on this unit. We will mount it higher in the future zee how durable it proves to be in our environment.
