WEATHER UNDERGROUND

Recently Weather Undergrund updated all of their weather programs to a more easier program layout to view the various weather conditions.

I like to use the FULL SCREEN version which only has just a few side bar functions giving me a large view of the area map.
Weather Underground Full Screen version

I use this in conjunction with my OFF-ROAD Emergency Weather monitoring outings here associated with my Ham radio Emergency Radio functions..

having dedicated full screen for weather live radar iew is very important for me to have.

As it turns out now I only get to select certain views like RADAR for instances and can change my view close in and far out and thats about it.

I like to be able to view actual ALERTS generated by the WX FOLKS and also like to see the familar WX symbols like Tornados etc. and other other WX related alert symbols as they popup in my area of view.

I also like to switch to Earth View which displays a nice color map of the area I am viewing as compared to just looking at road map type view...

I don't see anything related to Hurricanes and there resulting tracking strings etc...

I'm sure all of these are still there somewhere but I can't seem to get my FULL SCREEN version to display these anymore... Maybe those alert symbols things engage when they actually happen. I am used to selecting those different kinds of alerts from a side settings screen...

This has made me go look at some of the other oldie type WX programs like Intellicast and WEATHER Channels version and they seem to have gone to this new view format as well... geesch... Intellicast seems to have all the functions I am interested in viewing but it does not have a FULL SCREEN version for me to us. It has all kinds a side function views control panes with the actual area map monitor view maybe half of the page not even centered haha...

Tried to get info from the various programs but you have to join the club and some of this cost money I guess. Maybe that is what has happened to my WEATHER UNDERGROUND. Once I join the club I get to use all those other features I use to get before???

Also maybe Weather Underground is still working on it...

Apparently their maps are undergoing "improvements". When I complained that it's nowhere as good as before, they replied that it's not done yet.

Why they released intermediate junk is beyond me.
