    In a hypothetical world where everyone has every comfort available and every need met,

    in that world at least,

    I could say:

    “There is some room for wrapping something in a sleek package!“

    (Maybe I’d pay a dollar if someone remade those graphs really beautifully)

      I only ever check my weather on NWS, but a year or two ago they went from having easily read hourly forecast data to those obnoxious graphs. I have zero clue why they did that.

        Meteorologists do those graphs. What do you expect. Having set through more than one lecture by NOAA person for certification as a weather watch person as a firefighter. They love graphs and photos of clouds. Sooooo many photos of clouds…

        Still, they are easy enough to read once you get used to them.

          Oh for sure, I get that. But the NWS website is still meant for the public to use, and the old design layout was simpler and faster to read. Some folks might read graphs faster/as fast, but not for many of us. Regardless, another user pointed out you can click on the graph and it converts it all into an easy to read table format. :)

        If you click on the graph, it’ll turn into a data table showing ~48 hours worth of information. Is that what you’re looking for?
