For all those icons...
...Michael gets my first custom LF!
Actual tabular and forecast data, and I used my own PM Showers icon (put a drop shadow on the PM).
Comes with Current Conditions, 36 Hour Forecast, and Extended Forecast.
There's something at every turn...just look at the LDL on the 36-Hour Forecast. (

)
Sadly, I did not have a situation suitable for one of your great icons in this LF...just a lot of rain in the next 36 hours and then smooth sailing (Trammell Starks?)

With the XL spirit in the air tonight and the cold settling into the Northeast, it's time for the snowbirds to come flying to California and Arizona - and if there's still an XL left, they might stumble into the funky Air Quality slide they have there.
Armed with a Weather Star XL product guide, I took the time out to create the almighty California Air Quality slide, 24-1 in the files.
This was "actual" data from the XL product guide.

Welcome back to 1985!
Tropical Storm and Hurricane updates generated by Weather Stars. Returning to TWC Reimagined.

Keep up the good work, raymie.

We had an accident with the STAR and the only thing left was the PMX machine from Canada...
...by the way, if you want these puppies (there are 20 to 30 of these in 128x128 format), ask me. They're from the WeatherEye widget for the Mac. I've done a TWC widget modernization with the Show Package Contents like I did with the icons here too.
All TWN/MM copyrights acknowledged. These icons have been used since the winter of 2001.

LOL. I like it.

A PMX emulation with the 2006 look...

Squizz · « **Reply #27 on:** December 19, 2008, 09:54:55 PM »

We should make emulators with this design. It would be awesome. If so, I think NorthStar would be a very cool name for it.

You do know TWN routinely has changed up that video background? (the misalignment is actually done on purpose!)

A new FAQ for a weather.com product concept:

Q. What is MyCast™ by The Weather Channel®?
A. MyCast™ by The Weather Channel® is a new way of getting your current conditions from weather.com®. Like the Local on the 8s® on TV, MyCast™ by The Weather Channel® displays your weather information neatly and in various slides.

Q. How do I use MyCast™ by The Weather Channel®?
A. Using MyCast™ by The Weather Channel® is simple! Just go to your normal page with your Current Conditions and click on "MyCast".

Q. How is MyCast™ by The Weather Channel® laid out?
A. Once at the MyCast page, you'll see the MyCast display and "« Previous Page" and "Next Page »" links. Clicking on the links changes the slide displayed.

The slides are in this order:

My Current Conditions
Currently in My Area
Currently in My Region
My 36-Hour Forecast
Tomorrow's Forecast (daypart)
Tomorrow's Forecast (regional)
My Extended Forecast

Q. What about severe weather?
A. MyCast™ by The Weather Channel® will display a triangular icon with an exclamation mark on it near the weather icon in the Current Conditions slide if a weather alert is active. Clicking on this icon will take you to an index of weather alerts, from which you can read the individual statements.

Q. Why did I design MyCast?
A. MyCast is intended to cut down on the clutter on those current conditions pages (you have to scroll down just to see the 36-Hour Forecast!). It also coordinates weather.com with TWC on TV and is the video forecast for rural areas.

Q. I have a suggestion for MyCast. How can I submit it?
A. If you have a MyCast concept, just PM or IM it to me and I will definitely take a look.
