A web-based recreation of the WeatherStar 4000, the 1990s Weather Channel local forecast graphics hardware, serving retro-styled live weather displays. It fetches data from NOAA's api.weather.gov and renders current conditions, forecasts, radar, and almanac screens in a browser.
Use cases
- display a retro 90s weather channel forecast in my browser
- self-host a weather dashboard with current conditions and radar
- show a nostalgic weather forecast screen on a kiosk or TV
- get hourly and extended forecasts styled like the WeatherStar 4000
- learn JavaScript ES6, async/await, and build tooling from a real project
- view severe weather outlooks and regional observations in a classic layout
When to choose
- you want the 90s Weather Channel look with minimal configuration
- you need a US weather display backed by the free NOAA API
- you want a readable, library-free codebase to learn from
When to avoid
- you need weather data outside the United States
- you want an accurate WeatherStar 4000 emulator rather than a modern reimagining
- you need a mobile app or native desktop application
