Weather Star 4000 Emulator

About Weather Star 4000

The Weather Star 4000 was a weather graphics system used by The Weather Channel from 1990 to 2000. This emulator recreates the nostalgic look and feel of those classic local forecast segments that many remember from their childhood.

This display includes:

• Current Conditions: Real-time weather data for Westmoreland, NY
• Local Forecast: Extended forecast with high and low temperatures
• Latest Observations: Current weather observations from nearby stations
• Almanac Data: Sunrise, sunset, and moon phase information
• Radar: Local radar imagery
• SPC Outlook: Storm Prediction Center severe weather outlook

Note: This emulator is powered by WeatherStar.netbymatt.com and displays weather data in the classic Weather Channel style. The display cycles through different screens automatically, just like the original Weather Star 4000 system. This display is configured in kiosk mode with the location locked to Westmoreland, New York, so the settings panel is hidden and the location cannot be changed. Sound and music are configured with background music set to 90% volume. The emulator features AI-generated WeatherStar-inspired music tracks that recreate the classic Weather Channel experience.
