WFOR has finally added one of those cool weather maps with near real time radar info to CBS4.com
CBS4's ZoomRadar Weather Map
CBS4 meteorologist Jeff Berardelli who apparently has some mad coding skillz created the map himself. Named ZoomRadar the new tool uses Flash and Google maps as its base and overlays near real time radar data, with rain fall rate, and severe weather warnings.
One big plus that I see about this map would be that it feels very lightweight. When it loads it doesn’t make my Firefox browser gag which even with a 8GB quad-core pc seems to be an issue at some sites with similar maps
The only negative would be that the map is a bit too narrow. It’s OK on my laptop but on the huge LCD screen it’s a bit tiny.
All in all very good and long overdue addition to the CBS4.com weather section.
