This is much more of a no-fuss, just get a forecast project. The project does not strive for accuracy as much as the Simulator does. As a refresher course in JavaScript I’ve made it my own by updating the interface to use new techniques such as Classes, and JavaScript standard replacements for jQuery. This project is a fork of ws4kp and runs in a web browser. Then there’s the WS4000 Simulator which strives for accuracy in both look and information that is presented. First there’s TWC Classics which documents and discusses the history of The Weather Channel through screenshots and video clips. There is a lot of nostalgia for these forecasts. Wow! And if you went on vacation and watched The Weather Channel it was a different local forecast for where you were. But on the 8’s a local forecast was inserted into what was otherwise a regular, nationally broadcast cable channel. The Weather Channel was on cable and at that time talked about weather forecasts on a national scope. The technology was really impressive at the time.
