| Great. The ol' "Alert" button is flashing on my WB...Winter Storm Warning calling for 6-10in. of snow. Click on the Radar and, despite the efforts of the WB engineers, I cannot tell JACK from this. What a cluster this Radar issue (and it's corrections) has become...and what a shame, too. |

I did pass on your initial feedback directly to the CTO - top of the food chain here. More changes are coming, hang in there. If you have other specific issues not addressed yet, bullet point them here so I can have the engineers looking at them asap.
So long as people can provide specific feedback, we can do this. |

I've mentioned this before, but having a "Local" option for the Doppler radar page for zip 54956 would be quite useful. Or better yet, would be the ability to zoom in on the radar map similar to clicking on a radar loop on the National Weather Service page. Also, when viewing a radar loop, have it automatically update every 5 minutes or so instead of having to keep clicking on the animate button to get a refresh. |

| The maps for my area are so small i can't tell anything from them even with the county lines. There are no towns even close to where i am. Where i use to be able to see half way across my state of Kansas i now can see almost to Colorado. Needs to be much closer. Hope you can help. |

** BRING BACK THE OLD MAPS ***
THE RADARS AND SATTELLITE VIEWS ARE NOT WHAT THEY USED TO BE.
.
THE MAPS LOOK LIKE A KINDERGARDNER COLORED AND MADE THEM
THEY ARE VERY UN PROFESSIONAL LOOKING...
PLEASE ADD ZOOM TO THE SATTELITE / RADAR VIEW..

I have been told that this is being worked on with a completion date in the upcoming month. This is something that I too, have pointed out. So yes, this needs to be fixed without question. The good news is that it is...we just need to wait until December.
Thanks |
