Rant: Weatherunderground's new format

[jim]

Any weatherunderground users out there? What the hell were they thinking with this new format? It's awful.

The mobile/app version hasn't gone to that format yet.

Are you talking about the home page? I never go to that, but the new format (as of several months ago) for the individual location pages is great, IMO. I love the graph based display of termperature and chance of rain.

I just get everything from my local NWS office. For St. Louis it's http://www.crh.noaa.gov/lsx/
You Chicagoland users would be http://www.crh.noaa.gov/lot/

You might as well go to the source because everyone just uses the govt models.

I never use their webpage, but use the app all the time. They always seem to have the most accurate forecasts.

Homepage. They know your location, and use up about 1/3 of the screen overlaying the radar to show you nearby stations. Stuff like it's 78.3 a mile from here and 78.2 two miles from here and oh look it's 78.3 over there and 78.4 there and 78.4 that way and oh look ... it's 78.3 right where I am at. 78.4 down the street, 78.5 ... .OK. I don't need that much real estate to tell me it's 78-ish degrees.

And that search box is ginormous. I can't imagine filling that space up with a location.

But know that I look at the individual page (guess I never got that far), you are right. Those are pretty good.
