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....

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.

I'm definitely enjoying all of this and TY again. I used to watch Wx on the 8's from start to finish, every time...I'm a 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.

Feel free to jump in and help. I can also put weatherstar here if there is any interest.

2024 Severe Seasonal Forecast....
I hope I am wrong.

Provided there are no other issues that crop up... I will be working on a way to pre-load hi-rez intellcast radar images to accommodate devices with limited hardware resources, etc.
-
The https://battaglia.ddns.net/twc/ site has been updated to address the issues I identified earlier relating to missing data and failure to load many locations.
Let me know if you encounter any other issues. I will try to troubleshoot locally and relay the information to to the original developer.
Hope you enjoy the "flashback" to a time in which the weather channel was iconic.

And TY for helping the other dev. Again...I love your work, and your willingness to help others! Absolutely LOVE what you've created here!
It is only possible because of the work from those who preceded me.

Modified... dark theme with original twc colors (flavors).
Relocated "location" and "actions" bar for something more conducive to firetv/firestick.

This is an EXCELLENT emulator, @KAOS, TY for sharing! I'm sharing another here from real "old school" TWC, that someone else here on the sub turned me onto a month or two ago. I sometimes just let it cycle in the background on my laptop while working through the day...but will swap it out with this excellent Intellistar emulator now....
WeatherStar 4000+ (battaglia.ddns.net)Yes, the WeatherStar 4000+ is probably one of the best working emulators currently available. I have my fork of it installed on an IIS server. I've actually helped the developer (vbguyny) resolve an issue with the API and a problem with wind data that was preventing it from loading.

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...
