There’s a 76-year-old light above Boston that tells you the weather. Why do I still need to look at my phone to know what it’s saying?

A live digital version of Boston’s Weather Beacon that translates the forecast into the beacon’s red, blue, steady and flashing language.

I started with the original beacon rules, then mapped live weather conditions to its four states. I kept the interface deliberately sparse so the light itself does most of the communicating.
