Via TWC Today, The Weather Channel has debuted some small tweaks to many of its graphics. Some of the main changes include new icons on all graphics, and a new, simpler, header on maps.
TWC is currently in the process of rolling out the changes, so it’s unknown if the actual show packages and opens will change at this time.

New Map Header:
The new elements so far are smaller and more geared towards HD. TWC also made major changes to the lower display bar, which displays current conditions.
Update: We’ve also spotted these L3′s. They match the new headers with the use of angles.
I agree with Ryan also.
I love the changes on TWC graphics. Simpler, cleaner, cooler. It makes weather look awesome. They must keep the current Local on the 8′s HD Graphics they are amazing! But the standard definition Local on the 8′s need a major overhaul.
I think they look good now that you have pointed them out. It’s also good to have a single brand identity among the NBCU networks. Just little elements make the connection (like the single peacock feather that you see on both MSNBC and CNBC) while keeping each channels individual brand identity.
Looks a lot like MSNBC’s graphics,likely from the same ultimate source.
