Not sure if anyone has noticed, but the SkyTracker/TITAN radars now show data from the past 3 hours instead of the last hour... something that should have been implemented years ago...

Hmm, I never noticed that...

I know this is random, but is it just me or does the font of the Tornado Watch/ Severe T'Storm Warning look similar to the font that's used on the blue LDL where the "now" tab is?

EDIT: After looking at it again, even the font of the crawl looks similar to the crawl on the blue LDL.  :huh:

Oh ok, I thought it might of been. It's kinda odd because I don't remember our FOX affiliate using that font the last time I saw a warning crawl on there. I guess I didn't realize how popular that font really is.

I am pretty sure after Betty Davis said "bye" at the end of Weekend View, Kelly Cass said "holla."
 I never want to hear that out of her mouth again..haha :P
I can confirm that... though it sounds like it was Betty that said holla :P

With Mike and Steph being in Florida, Jen is in the TWC studio, and I guess Al is off.

Mike Bettes was rolling in a sweater vest today. He hasn't worn those since late 2007 or early 2008.

I have yet to see anyone use the videowall today, perhaps the annoying blue bar is being fixed?  :thinking:

Maybe so, I didn't pay much attention to it until last week and seeing that run down the middle of the video wall was getting annoying.

I have no idea where to put this.

During tonight's Office repeat, NBC ran a Home Depot Weekend Weather bit...complete with an apparently regional 10 second forecast by Alex (and the new HD pillarbars).  I have it capped and will get it up sometime.
