Since it's likely using the same sensor device as their portable variety, I'd expect that as lightning gets closer, the performance gets worse. There's really no way it can accurately determine...

I doubt WU will modify their setup for the release of a new Acurite model. Since Acurite's previous software is anything but stellar I am hoping that there is new software accompanying the Atlas line...
