Looks like the NWS is going to be changing how the forecast pages appear. They really aren't half bad. Some of these forecasts I think are pulled from the Norman office just from the swings in weather over a couple days. LOL

Example 1: Dense Fog is expected - but only during the late night and early morning hours Tonight into Saturday. A “Dense Fog Advisory” is issued for this period and a “High Wind Watch” is also issued for Monday and Monday Night.

Also depicts proposed new "mixed rain and snow" icons for This Afternoon and Friday Night, and a new "snow mixed with sleet" icon for Wednesday evening.

I like it.....a lot.
But its probably to complicated for some. LOL

Very nice!

I really like it! The advisory bars, the arrows showing the change in precipitation probability, the morning/afternoon split, etc.

I remember back in 2003 they had an icon with a picture of a tornado that said "Tornadoes Possible". I wonder if they still do that when conditions are absolutely perfect? lol

I am predisposed to dislike anything that ever mentions freezing rain. :)
