I love how it's built. How they did the blurring and filter stacking. I assumed the whole thing was being streamed in as video.<p>Good job Weather Channel dev. I just wish it would loop forever. Make a loop checkbox at the start screen.<p>Also the music slaps.

This appears to be a fairly low effort simulation of a WeatherStar 4000, but it's been done much better by someone else here: <a href="https://weatherstar.netbymatt.com/" rel="nofollow">https://weatherstar.netbymatt.com/</a><p>Also for those of us like me who grew up with a cable provider that still ran the old WeatherStar III, there's this one: <a href="https://weatherstar3000.netbymatt.com/" rel="nofollow">https://weatherstar3000.netbymatt.com/</a>

Don’t miss the unmute icon in the lower right (at least on my browser).

Looks great on mobile in portrait mode. Bonus points for the audio.

Well done. Added to my home screen. Imagine a daily smooth jazz weather report will soothe the soul nicely.

This is so much better than their actual website.

Now we just need gen AI weatherwoman with a really really bad bluescreen and have her show the 3d map rotating around randomly toward cities.
