We're in HD!


It is official. Fox 16 News will be in High Definition tonight!  From the weather side of things, that means completely brand new content from your favorite weather team.  I know what you're thinking...how will this change from the content you saw yesterday or the past several years?

Clarity- When switching over to HD we were able to capture images and create maps with stunning detail unlike anybody has seen in Little Rock.  If you don't believe me just watch our newscast tonight. You'll actually be able to see what is going in your neighborhood with incredible street level mapping.

Best Severe Weather Tools - Jeff and I searched high and low to find the best severe weather tools on the market and we found it.  In the future we'll show you where the greatest potential for hail and tornadoes will be inside of a storm.  Plus, we have a new storm tracking tool that makes it easier to understand.

Interactive - From now on we can physically interactive with the data that is behind us.  This may not sound like much but it's a huge leap forward for us in the weather center.  We'll demonstrate it almost every single day so check it out.

New Content - For the first time you'll see lightning data on the web. We've got a 3-D model of downtown Little Rock that is jaw dropping.  Not to mention we have new 3-D maps that are simply amazing.  We just can't wait to show you all of it.
