See more information on WC’s Change Log page and some of the upcoming changes to expect.
WC Storm Network
WC has updated a brand-new storm reporting system on WC! You can find it HERE! The plan is to continue to develop this system and implement ways for users to submit location data and view reports/graph data about storm reports on public pages. You must be a WC member in order to submit a report. Stay tuned for more developments.
Weather 101 Progress
WC is going to be working hard in 2023 to deliver as much Weather 101 content as possible! This includes possibly a new radar interpretation, severe weather awareness, and storm chasing 101! Currently Weather 101 is displayed as 8.7% complete. The goal is to have it about 25% complete by the end of 2023! The ultimate goal is to have 100’s of resources and pages in the years to come!
Weather Center Photo Contest #6
Congratulations to the previous winner of Weather Photo Contest #5! The next contest starts March 1st! Get ready for another wild storm season in Texas and get ready for more picture taking! Drop a comment if you have any questions or suggestions for WC to do on the next contest.
WC Diamonds (WIP)
As some WC members may have seen, in addition to WC points there are also WC Diamonds. You can view how many you have through the home page on the main sidebar under your points. As of now, this feature is a Work In Progress and is currently still being decided if it should be kept or abandoned. Its intended use is for users to be able to unlock future premium content on WC. Diamonds are currently in the Buy WC Credits tab but is not a recommended purchase since the feature is not implemented yet. However, all users that have donated to WC in the past will be accredited an equal amount of Diamonds to the value of their donation. Stay tuned.
WC is excited for the journey up ahead! If you have any suggestions for WC, please feel free to leave a comment… it is much appreciated!
