YoWindow is a streamlined weather app that features pleasant animations and the ability to track the weather in multiple locations at once. With this program, you can quickly see what's going on outside your window or what kind of weather you'll be flying into on your next trip.

Pros

Screensaver option: In addition to using this program like any other weather app, you can also set it as your screensaver. That way, you don't even have to be actively using your computer to get a weather update.
Clear interface: This program displays information clearly and concisely, with nice animations in the background depicting the current conditions in the location you're viewing. There is also a slider that you can use to see what the weather will be like in the next few hours, and switching between multiple locations can be accomplished with just a few clicks.

Cons

Three-day limit: This app only offers a three-day extended forecast. To increase that to nine days, which is more in line with what other similar programs offer, you have to upgrade to the paid version.
Just the basics: There's not too much detailed information provided in the forecasts available from this app. The only data you'll get is wind speed and direction, pressure, humidity, and temperature, including current, high, and low readings.

Bottom Line

YoWindow is a clean and efficient weather app, and it's especially nice to be able to use it as a screensaver. But the program does have some significant limitations as well, although your personal preference will really dictate how much of a drawback these are for you. It's free to download and use, although you will need to install Adobe Flash Player as well if you don't already have it.
