AccuWeather.com Launches Toolbar for Windows® Internet Explorer® 7 Users

State College, PA, January 30, 2007 --(PR.com)-- AccuWeather.com today announced the launch of a new weather toolbar developed specifically for users of Internet Explorer® 7. This free AccuWeather.com Toolbar gives customers at-a-glance access to all the breaking weather information that they need and helps keep users safe with proactive winter and severe weather warnings.

The toolbar displays the most commonly sought weather information, including current conditions and forecasts for the current day and night and the next day.
