This appears to be a fairly low effort simulation of a WeatherStar 4000, but it's been done much better by someone else here: https://weatherstar.netbymatt.com/
Also for those of us like me who grew up with a cable provider that still ran the old WeatherStar III, there's this one: https://weatherstar3000.netbymatt.com/
Because, IIRC (it has been a while since I’ve looked at the code) it grabs weather from the US National Weather Service… which is also a primary source of data for the original WeatherStar.
It’s useful for this purpose because all of the data is in the same format as the original down to the different forecast types and phrasing used
I love how it's built. How they did the blurring and filter stacking. I assumed the whole thing was being streamed in as video.
Good job Weather Channel dev. I just wish it would loop forever. Make a loop checkbox at the start screen.
Also the music slaps.

that one doesn't put my laptop to aspirate and it;s fast
This is pretty neat. I think I probably get this transmission on Infochammel.
The one you posted works only for americans

Were the real things ever available outside of America?
Either way, thanks to the wonders of open source here's a fork that works for other parts of the world: https://mwood77.github.io/ws4kp-international/
Got really confused why is my WinAmp was double decked there.
Thanks!
Ughhhh snow storm tomorrow
why do i love this so much? nostalgia hitting hard these days.
Looks great on mobile in portrait mode. Bonus points for the audio.
Well done. Added to my home screen. Imagine a daily smooth jazz weather report will soothe the soul nicely.
Don’t miss the unmute icon in the lower right (at least on my browser).
perfect to throw on a mini crt looking screen in the kitchen
This is so much better than their actual website.
