AccuWeather.com announced that it has launched a widget for Apple’s new iPhone that is also usable on the Apple Macintosh OS X dashboard. Early responses to the AccuWeather.com 15-Day Forecast Widget for iPhone have been very positive, earning it praise from third-party sources such as CNET and MediaPost’s Mobile Insider.

The widget is superior to the iPhone’s pre-loaded weather information in that it provides 15-day forecasts, detailed radar and satellite maps, three pre-saved locations, and access to weather information for over three million locations worldwide. It also provides severe weather alerts for all U.S. locations.
