NBC Weather Plus rolls out new on air look

Along with an updated WeatherPlus.com, NBC WeatherPlus has also redesigned their on air L bar.

The new design matches their new online presence and contains much lighter blues and a more airy feel. The L bar now features live radar which stations can insert.


WeatherPlus.com redesigns

Courtesy of the Online Design Digest blog, NBC has rolled out a new look for WeatherPlus.com. The new design features a light blue background with individual content modules topped by dark blue headers.

Internal content has also been better organized and now features some nifty dynamic effects.

The site’s navigation now features drop-down menus that have dashed outlines that make them look oddly like coupons.

It will be interesting to see how this new direction for WeatherPlus.com plays into NBC Universal’s planned acquisition of the Weather Channel, which includes the hot domain Weather.com.
