Field notes
The interface exposes controls for location, station, radar, zone, refresh interval, display selection, and music, alongside hourly graphs, regional observations, an almanac, extended forecast, and radar legend. It credits WeatherStar 4000+ by Matt Walsh under MIT License, via the Jade66/WeatherChannel fork; radar is attributed to Iowa Environmental Mesonet. The page reports US-only coverage, while this capture still shows the forecast loading and “Failed / No Data.”
