I wonder if they'll update the 1999-2003 esque title bars on the maps while they're updating the site...

Very nice! Still too many ads, and I couldn't find any special maps, but much better than it is now! :thumbsup:

Yea there are still some tweaks that need to be made but weather.com finally looks like a website from 2010 not 2005

Is anyone else automatically being directed to the new site when they type in www.weather.com? :dunno: This is probably intentional, but I thought the site wasn't supposed to launch for nine days. :blink:

Nope, it still links me to the old site.

Well this is odd. :blink: I wonder if I'm one of the lucky ones in BETA testing...I think I read somewhere where certain people would be directed to the new site. :thinking:

Weather.com is served by hundreds of servers. Its possible some of the load is being upgraded while the rest remains normal.

I'm being redirected as well. They are probably testing the new site to a certain percentage of it's visitors before the roll out on the 15th.

I remember there being issues with the forecasts on the early versions of the website. There seemed to be a mismatch between what was shown on the website and what was on tv. I'm mainly talking about individual location forecasts (by city or zip code).

That always will be the case. Online forecasts are just generated automatically. Plus you have to take into account HiRad and other manipulation TWC does with their weather data. NWS is still the best place for weather info

The NWS is another site well overdue for updates. It has barely ever been touched since I started using it in 2004. :o
