The new Vortex2 lower thirds have debuted.... One problem... It's very difficult to read the text...
It's difficult to read most of the text that's anywhere on TWC (and the Intellistar), lol :P
TWC does not seem to know good text color schemes, of all things.

What am I looking at that's different?

The gray text. It's hard to read.

Are you sure the text wasn't just fading in or out in that screenshot?  I've never seen "barely there" or hard to read text on The Weather Channel.

Because they feel like it?

Are they still doing coverage? (I'm asking this because I'm in class right now.)

I almost think it is a part of a new soundtrack. :thinking: Why they are using old music for it, I don't know. :no: But I think it fits pretty well.

I like the music as well, but I agree that they are using it too much.

Looks like Storm Stories are getting new episodes soon. I just saw an LOT8s opener of it.
