Post by: lddaly on May 20, 2019, 01:52:39 PM
What is the best alternative/replacement radar page script, with similar functionality, for the current template integrated Weather Underground page - http://www.planoweather.com/wxradar.php (http://www.planoweather.com/wxradar.php)?

Iddaly,, I would wait for Ken to make an announcement regarding his template. He twitted that alternatives are been looked at.

I am sure this does not include the radar but given that the road that wunderground has taken is more clear now, I am sure he is getting ready for the future.

Even with all of the available places to get near real-time radar data across the Internet, the wxradar.php page is still in the top 5 most visited pages on our site. Based on WU deprecating features without warning, I just want to get ahead of the inevitable and completely purge them from the site.
