Interactive Weather Map
Weather & Alerts now opens with the Satellite + Radar view selected.
Added county boundary lines plus mouse-wheel and on-map zoom controls for a closer or wider view of regional weather.
Map-wheel zoom is intentionally limited so normal use does not create an excessive number of map requests.
Simplified the five-day forecast heading by removing its repeated provider label.
Removed the extra Weather information footer panel to keep the page focused and compact.
Added a full-screen control in the radar's upper-right corner so members can expand the map and exit with the same button or the Escape key.
Members can now hold the left mouse button and drag the weather map to explore nearby areas; the map loads its new geographic center after release.
Added a soft white outline using the official Martin County boundary so the club's home county remains easy to identify while viewing, dragging, zooming, or expanding the weather map.
The radar panel now sizes itself to each member's available screen height and contains the complete map image, reducing page scrolling and preventing cropping across different screen sizes.
Added official county-name labels for 52 counties within approximately 80 miles of Martin County, including nearby areas of Indiana, Illinois, and Kentucky; labels appear at Zoom 8 and 9 to remain readable.
Added a custom local place overlay using official Census locations: important regional cities appear at Zoom 9, incorporated towns near Martin County appear at Zoom 10, and smaller nearby communities appear at Zoom 11.
Place labels automatically avoid overlapping one another, while out-of-state locations include their state abbreviation for clarity.
Added interstate and major-highway lines to every weather-map view so members can relate approaching weather to familiar travel routes.
Reduced the Martin County highlight's visual intensity by roughly half so it identifies the county without distracting from the weather imagery.
The Latest radar and Satellite + Radar frames now request a fresh image every minute while the page remains visible, pause background requests in hidden tabs, and refresh when a member returns.
Weather Page Layout Improvements
Weather & Alerts now stays within the available screen width instead of making members scroll the entire page sideways.
The hourly forecast and radar timeline remain easy to use on narrower screens without stretching the rest of the Member Hub.
Removed the large repeated page heading so the live radar appears near the top, with the update time and Refresh button kept inside the radar panel.
Removed the remaining top spacing from Weather & Alerts so more of the radar is visible immediately when the page opens.
Live Weather Updates
Weather & Alerts now requests the latest available conditions, hourly forecast, five-day outlook, and official alerts whenever a member visits the page.
The last successful weather update remains safely stored and is used only when a live weather service is temporarily unavailable.
Weather Connection Reliability
Corrected how the Hub reads Xweather current-condition responses so successful readings no longer appear blank.
Weather requests now identify the club website to Xweather for application-namespace checks.
If Xweather rejects a request, the page now distinguishes incorrect credentials, namespace or plan restrictions, and usage-limit problems instead of showing only a generic unavailable message.
The weather page now also recognizes Xweather error messages returned inside a standard API response, preventing an authorization error from looking like an empty forecast.
Verified the club's Xweather account with a successful live conditions request and corrected the specific response location that was leaving the Weather page empty.
Live Weather Dashboard
Expanded Weather & Alerts with a large near-real-time Martin County radar map, alert boundaries, satellite, temperature, and wind views.
Members can play the previous 50 minutes of radar or select an individual frame, while animation frames load only on request to conserve the club's map allowance.
Added a 12-hour forecast plus dew point, cloud cover, and UV information alongside current conditions and the five-day outlook.
Weather & Alerts
Added a new Weather & Alerts page with current Martin County conditions, a five-day forecast, and official National Weather Service active alerts.
Weather information refreshes when members visit the page and is safely shared for five minutes, keeping conditions current without wasting the club's API allowance.
The Xweather credentials remain private on the server and are never sent to members' browsers.
