The forecasts on our website have been the mainstay of the weather.gov/unr application suite for 10 years. Originally designed in 2007, the application has grown each year and now serves several thousand hits per second. Though the look and feel was improved in 2013 and 2015, the underlying architecture that creates the pages has remained largely unchanged since the original design.
A rewrite of the forecast application has been completed. It will be on line April 4, 2017 (delayed from March 7, 2017 as previously posted). The new pages will be served with a modernized architecture with increased reliability and future expandability. While your personal experience will remain mostly unchanged, it was necessary to alter/remove a significant number of web addresses (URLs). Because of these changes, a majority of you will need to update your bookmarks for forecast pages.
Please hold off until after April 4, 2017 to update your bookmarks. The above link is for testing purposes.
Once these changes go live on April 4, all existing bookmarks to forecast.weather.gov will change. Links to a forecast page will display an error message that includes a URL to the new location. You will need to update your bookmarks to continue to access our forecasts quickly after the upgrade. After April 4, the new URL to forecasts can also be found by searching for your location from weather.gov/unr. These changes will not affect office pages located at www.weather.gov
An hourly forecast tab has been added to the primary forecast page below the forecast icons section, and includes basic hourly forecast information for 7 days.
The graphical and tabular forecast pages have received an overhaul and some minor changes to their interfaces. Both can now also be accessed using the same URL. Click the image below for an example.
A brand-new, fully-documented Application Program Interface (API) for developers. The new design is a significant change and will be easier to navigate and discover the data to enrich developers’ applications.
All pages are now designed to be print-friendly. Click the print button in your browser for a presentation that is environment friendly to print.
