Over the past few weeks, we’ve been working on a new layout for our main weather page.  Our goal of this new look is to provide you a simple weather snapshot of what going on now and what’s going to happen in the near future.   We’ve also lowered the amount of tabs on the main page to speed up page load time.

You can preview the upcoming changes here: http://www.wishtv.com/subindex/weather/weather_2

Also, we’ve not removed any of the current weather maps/images, just moved them to new homes.  Keep reading to learn about the new categories and what maps are now available.

Please feel free to leave us your thoughts about the new layout.  We’ll apply it to the main weather page in a week or two.
