Over the past two weeks, we’ve been putting the final tweaks on our new main weather page layout.  This afternoon we made that page live.  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.

We haven’t taken any maps away, in fact we’ve added several new ones.  Click the “more” link below to see what maps are now available and where to find them.

We are also getting ready to unveil a new school/business closings page format that will make it much easier to find out if your school or business has been closed or delayed.  Look for that in the next few weeks.

If you have thoughts, feedback etc. about the new page format, leave a message in the comments section.  While we can’t accommodate every suggestion or request we do read them and use them in building a better WISHTV.com.

Here’s a breakout of our new pages and what maps are available.
