This may be an age or geography thing, but Weather.com/Retro looks a lot more like the weather channels I remember than either of your two links. I don't think they were trying to recreate the thing you were expecting, but it seems a little harsh to call it low effort. It's neat! A fun little nod to their history. |

That'll be a memory thing then, because unsurprisingly there are some serious Weather Channel nerds out there and the history of the local programming as well as the STARs that powered it is quite well documented.
The only thing that looked anything like this was the WS4000. WeatherStar III and Jr. didn't have graphics at all while WeatherStar XL had a much more modern graphic design.
