Accuweather was still in "beta" too after it launched if I recall. I don't see why it matters

It's only been a few days. With a site as large as weather.com, beta testing could take weeks.

Think about all of Google's products that were (or still are) in beta and have been out for a few years. :P

I dont understand this but today on WUWA Mike Bettes used the layout of the forecast page prior to the forecast page before the animated swf icons were created :unsure: It was about todays heat in Raleigh and he said "lets check out weather.com"

I know I'm late, but I got a chance to view the new website today and it's MUCH better than it was before. :yes:

Yes, it does.  :yes: It's much more simpler to navigate through.

The new weather.com is great, but will they be updating the "10-Day Forecast" page to match the new site? :unsure: Right now, because the old layout is being used, it doesn't "fit." :no:

Well, it looks like weather.com is no longer in beta. I will admit that I'm a little disappointed, though, because it looks like the 10-day and a few other pages will NOT be updated from how they looked on the old site. <_<

Its a step in the right direction at least. A bit disappointing considering as much resources as TWC had.

TWC's 10 day forecast may be getting changed graphically to something similar to the experimental 5 day forecast that showed up this week. Also is this why the other day in the web address it said beta.weather.com eventhough it doesn't say beta on the site? Tonight it says preview.weather.com.

That's a really nice layout! :thumbsup: Also, I too noticed that typing in weather.com is automatically directed to preview.weather.com. Don't know why, though. :blink:

I like that layout! I've dislike the layout of the 10 day for years now. Oh, btw, that 5 day is clearly in direct competition of Accuweather's extended outlook: http://www.accuweather.com/us/pa/slippery-rock/16057/forecast-details.asp
