Chris, both homepages offer up a whole lot of weather information in clean, understated formats. Both reflect the notion of “less is more” by providing loads of weather information without employing a lot of flashy design on long pages.
But your original homepage likely gets my vote because it has the changing photo/message element that provides an enticement to look deeper into the site. I think you also might use one of the frames to highlight the day’s “key message” or “synopsis” from the NWS Forecast Discussion for your area, with a link to the full discussion for those wanting more.
Another site that has a lot of information packed into an understated design is Marquetteweather.com.
Hats off to you. Whatever page you decide to go with, your viewers will be well served. —Bill
