NWS / NOAA has been paying attention to some comments. Here's the New! Improved! point forecast page for Central Park in New York City:
https://forecast-v3.weather.gov/point/40.7673,-73.9823
There are at least three ways to change the location:
- Toward the upper left corner of the page, enter the location or ZIP code you'd like to see.
- Dragon drop / recenter the map that's halfway down on the right side of the page.
- Courageously, edit the latitude and longitude in the URL, remembering that west longitude is entered as a negative number.
If you read the bumph about the changes, most of 'em are plumbing behind the scenes.
One new feature that's visible: below the graphic daily thumbnails, there's now a new tab on the left side of the page for hourly forecasts.
The only glitch I've encountered so far: sometimes, the "Current Conditions" are highlighted as not being current observations. The same thing happened (rarely) with the old format, but with the new format, it seems more frequent. That could be random bad luck. It doesn't affect the forecasts.
