I just noticed the webpage for our NWS office has been redesigned. I think this is that redesign noaa.gov was talking about last year. Is the redesign in place for all offices?

EDIT: They should bold the title heading for titles like Current Conditions, City Name, Detailed Forecast, etc. I think it would look better.
Yes, this redesign is in place for all cities across the nation. Their main goal with this redesign seemed to be to make the point forecast pages mobile-friendly. Look at a forecast on a mobile device; I think it looks a lot better. In fact, a couple of months ago they even launched a widget or something for mobile devices. It's about time the NWS moved into the 21st century.
Of course, their site still mixes multiple designs, which bothers me. The point forecast pages may look fresh, but go to any local WFO page (except for a few in the Northeast), and you'll see still the old, old design.
BTW, I remember the NWS wanting feedback on redesigning their weather icons maybe a year or so ago. I'm guessing this was either rejected or simply fell through? It's too bad, because I'll never forget the time I saw a freezing rain icon that was paired with a high temperature in the 60s. Obviously, the text forecast explained that, saying that the chance for freezing rain was in the morning, but it was still a weird combination, especially for people who only glance at the forecast.
