New weather.com design: April 2012

[WeatherWitness]

There is currently a live chat on weather.com to discuss the new layout.  It says discuss the "sneak preview" though, so does this mean the site is not permanent yet?  From the looks of the posts on the chat, a lot of users do not like the "vertical" layout of the Hourly, 5-Day, and 10-Day forecasts (which I can't blame them for).  I, as well as a few others, also miss the "Right Now" page having the current conditions AND the 36-hour forecast.  According to TWC, supposedly they are working on a new design for the 10-Day that will bring back the horizontal view.

Oh, and one more thing, why does TWC ALWAYS neglect to re-design the "Monthly" page???  I mean, I guess it's alright that they don't, but I can't even begin to tell you how old that design is.

I actually LOVE it.

I noticed on the left side when you click on the today tab they have that TruPoint forecast  letting you know how the weather will be over a period of about 6 hours. Right now for my area it says occasional thunderstorms expected around 11:00am. I don't believe that, but I'll test it to see how "accurate" it'll be.

So it could be a browser issue for me (though I have tried viewing on several), but I have noticed that within the past week or so the weather backgrounds indicating the current condition on a city's "Right Now" page have vanished.  Has anyone else noticed this?  If so, that's really too bad, especially considering this is one thing they "bragged" about on releasing the new site.   Maybe too many people complained that they were distracting.

They were there for me earlier last week... did they remove them?

EDIT: Andy your right... they are gone!

Those backgrounds haven't been removed for good, they're back.

It would appear a new grey-black color scheme has been thrown in the mix for inclement evening weather. Unless, of course, I just never saw this one when it debuted

Apparently, TWC provides a separate forecast for national holidays that are within the 10 day forecasting range. Right under 10 Day, 4th of July is displayed.

Hmmm...that is interesting; thanks for pointing that out, Tavores!  Since TWC seems to be real concerned with all this "planning your weather" stuff, it makes sense that they would include something like this.  Of course, now that I notice it's the same thing as me clicking on "Details" on the 10-Day for July 4, what's the point?   I guess it does have a countdown and some holiday-related ads, of course.

weather.com has slightly updated their "Today" page for local cities.  Though a minor change, it may take some time getting used to.  I think the format is kind of what they used to have,  though, with the columns like that.

It's been six days since the DST switch, but the "Weather in Motion" maps are still on Standard Time
