High Definition. You either get it, or you don't. But after you see what WDBJ7 news looks like in HD, you definitely want it. Our loyal Weather blog fans are getting a sneak peak at the unreleased SkyTracker7 HD Weather look.
Over the past several months, we've taken viewer input and started working on a new and improved set of HD weather graphics that are both eye-popping, yet meteorologically relevant. The results are, in my opinion, gorgeous.
SkyTracker7 Weather will be the ONLY local weathercast in high definition.
As you can see from the new 7-Day planner above, we've listened to the viewers who thought our old 7-Day was a bit hard to read. Now we've changed to an all horizontal format....and just wait and see what we've done with the weekend!
We didn't get rid of the region-by-region forecast, though you will notice an improved look that breaks down the temperatures in more detail. This makes it a bit easier to see what your hometown can expect. The pollen forecast, and water levels are still there too. Plus new additions that are HDelightful.
While vivid, it's not just about a pretty picture. We have also upgraded to the latest release of SkyTracker radar analysis software. This means you're not getting technology that is several years old. You're getting the most up to date real-time 3D radar, storm tracking, wind and hail detection, FutureRadar and Hurricane Tracker.
Oh, did we mention Live neighborhood current conditions and cameras from WeatherBug HD. It's all still there too.
We're very proud of the new look and hope you will give us your feedback (good or bad). Our goal is to continue to deliver the caliber of Hometown weather Chief Meteorologist Robin Reed branded over 25 years ago. The difference is we're making history by bringing it to you in state-of-the-art, widescreen HD format.
Keep watching to see the new graphics hit the airwaves.
