a/c died. current obs... hot af. make it end.

I somehow feel mappy could be helpful here.

Welcome to the Weather Freakshow...
-
I am working on the AMWX Mid Atlantic "advertisement". The hardest part is getting it to animate "properly".

New link... https://k-a-0-s.github.io/nwsradar.html This is for a windowed desktop radar app. I use chrome for this with the line below appended to the shortcut... --window-size=600,370 --app=https://k-a-0-s.github.io/nwsradar.html Or use a bat file... START "" "%cd%\BIN\thorium.exe" --window-size=600,370 --app=https://k-a-0-s.github.io/nwsradar.html --user-data-dir="%~dp0%\USER_DATA" --allow-outdated-plugins --disable-logging --disable-breakpad --disable-encryption --disable-machine-id I am using thorium (it is a chrome based browser). I made shortcuts for them in the taskbar Animations, warnings, zoom, pan, etc. Also starts with configuration menu so you can select zip or airport.

Thanks! Trust me... I struggle with it at times.

Other things worth noting... If you click/touch the screen once the emulator starts, you will hear classic weather channel music. Also... if you click/touch the weather channel logo... it will enable infinite looping with updated information.

BTW...I have done the best I can thus far making the nws radar hi-rez resource hog work with limited hardware resources. Not sure if I can get it any better. It has to do with the transition animation. There is a lot of css, etc. that has to be processed with every transitional frame (slides). Works great with old style nws radar... but there is no geo location available, so far as I know. Just regions, etc. That does not jive with the other nws resources needed for forecasts, etc. It is a conundrum of sorts. That said, I have hard coded the location for mid atlantic radar using old school radar... https://kaosfactor.github.io/ Pasadena (21122) is the default location, but you can enter any zip... Just keep in mind the radar never changes it's location. It is meant for mid atlantic users. Though there is an option to view any nws hi rez location, independently, via the settings menu. I have considered making a mobile version that excludes the radar from the emulation timeline while still allowing users to view a nws hi-rez geo location directly from the emulator menu. I use this version as an app on my phone and it works good.

Something like this...

The idea is to have an "advertisement" like the original intellistar below.

Guess I have to re-upload all the pictures. I will put them on github. Anyway.... I have "fixed" the hi-rez radar for devices with limited hardware resources. The following link should work well with those devices.... https://k-a-0-s.github.io/ Hi-Rez for everyone!!!

Awesome, happy to share and glad that others enjoy.

Create new <script src="js/Radar.js"></script> by appending existing <script src="js/WeatherFetching.js"></script> with... window.location.href = "https://radar.weather.gov/?settings=v1_"+mapSettings; Edit existing index.html to create a new radar.html file utilizing Radar.js by adding the following... <head> <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/radar.css"> </head> This works locally, I will upload the files to the repository to ensure that it can be accessed remotely. Link to follow...

Will be adding "secret" link to full screen hi-rez location specific nws radar via intellicast geolocation website emulator interface.

There will be random stuff... this thread also serves as my "notes". This should be zoomed in radar.... https://radar.weather.gov/?settings=v1_eyJhZ2VuZGEiOnsiaWQiOiJ3ZWF0aGVyIiwiY2VudGVyIjpbLTc3LjAyNywzOC45MTNdLCJsb2NhdGlvbiI6bnVsbCwiem9vbSI6MTB9LCJhbmltYXRpbmciOnRydWUsImJhc2UiOiJzdGFuZGFyZCIsImFydGNjIjpmYWxzZSwiY291bnR5IjpmYWxzZSwiY3dhIjpmYWxzZSwicmZjIjpmYWxzZSwic3RhdGUiOmZhbHNlLCJtZW51IjpmYWxzZSwic2hvcnRGdXNlZE9ubHkiOmZhbHNlLCJvcGFjaXR5Ijp7ImFsZXJ0cyI6MCwibG9jYWwiOjAsImxvY2FsU3RhdGlvbnMiOjAsIm5hdGlvbmFsIjowLjZ9fQ%3D%3D

This? That should preload the static radar.
-
Downpour with full sunshine... I knew that was going to happen just by looking at the "storm" structure. BTW... I measured exactly seven raindrops yesterday. I live in a precipitation Bermuda Triangle aka Rain-Hole.
-
I think I will try to pre-load a "static" hi-rez nws radar location (mid-atlantic) first. If that doesn't work there is no sense in persuing this further. The revised NWS hi-rez was an absolute disaster upon launch and continues to be slow loading, requiring higher-end hardware to compensate. This is most likely why they have made some low-rez resources available. Regardless, I already have a low rez-version that works fine on devices with limited hardware resources. If all else fails, I will make a "desktop" (hi-rez) verson and a "mobile" (low-rez version). We essentially have that as it is exists currently. Hi-Rez... https://k-a-0-s.github.io/ Low-Rez... https://kaosfactor.github.io/ I will periodically post some of my code here because... weirdo.

This is the definitive mid Atlantic old school "eastern weather" type channel emulator thread. If you know... you know. You are not a weirdo... I am weird. That said, I invite all weird people to participate. Would be cool to have a AMWX Mid Atlantic specific emulator.
