The much quicker page and "Weather History for xxxx" section refresh functions are great.
However the overall presentation of the page has gone to H in a handbasket.
1. The "MAP" section has become a fraction of its' previous size. It is now maybe 1/4 to 1/3 of it's previous page space, and is now practically worthless. Give it the whole page width, and expand it vertically a bit, and shrink the +- buttons.
2. The lack of a concise summary of all the important WX parameters in one small(er)/non-scrolling, readable at a glance area near the top of page is a major fault (as myself and others have noted before).
The use of those pointless 'graphics/gauges' icons next to each WX parameter is utterly without any 'value-added'.
They just clutter the page, waste space, and force the reader to scroll side to side and up-down in order to view the WX data.
An optional console-style 'Gauge Cluster' area would be OK, but forcing the clutter sucks. Make them an option below the (now missing) WX summary data list (as was before, or as on any NOAA station page), if you must have them; and hideable (and nearly invisible to we who do not need the 'junk' eye candy).
3. The "Weather History for xxx" section loads and modifies much quicker, nice.
However, it is now riddled with faults and omissions (some of which began about a year ago):
3A. The chronological dropdown menu now only allows 'daily', weekly', 'monthly' selections.
The previous 'Custom Date Range' selection is now gone (and another selection I've forgotten).
This was the most useful feature of all of WU (IMO), it allowed one to examine and make comparisons of 'any' available previous time periods, etc. Single days, weeks, months, even years past were accessible. Pull one or more and you could compare.
3B. When selecting a 'weekly' graph, the graph section below now looks forward, not back (which used to (logically) cover the six days previous to 'today'). Naturally there's nothing there except a FUBARed graph of 'today'.
3C. Selecting 'monthly' renders another, even more FUBARed graph (with very weird traces, even retrograding ones-- which might reflect data interruptions?).
I didn't bother to run a Table look.
3D. When selecting the (now missing) 'custom date range', one should be able to include future dates (which are now grayed out on the dropdown date selector). This feature used to work up until about a year ago. I found it useful to plug in a weekly period looking forward a couple of days, which allowed a quick use of the "View" button to get a graph refresh the next day without doing/waiting for a whole page refresh.
Which brings up another issue which may still be alive:
3E. The graph, in weekly mode, would cut off about 3:30PM of the current day. This prevented you from getting any graphing from mid-afternoon until past midnight (with change of day). The graph didn't used to behave this way (~yearago), and if this fault is still present, it is a major one.
4. The "Summary" section has all the faults that others have mentioned.
