Could they be using this hour break to prepare for a full-out Storm Alert at 3 PM ET?
Why would they go to Storm Alert if Gustav is nowhere near the US yet?

Because it's expected to have a huge impact on the US. ;)

And because it IS close to the US. Victor, you might want to have a look at the satellite of Gustav:

Cheryl Lemke and Mike Seidel are doing WWC today so that Carl and Kristina can do the extended edition of PME later tonight.

I still wonder if they'll run Forecast Earth at 4 PM CT, though.

That's not new, Victor. ;) They used it several times before with earlier storms this year, and they used that last year too.

Tonight on A&B, they aired a Forecast Earth special report featuring Stu Ostro doing his part of the report from an area just behind the old studio 1B desk with the Global Forecast Center in the background. It's been a long time since we've seen that! :P

This?

That was a mistake most likely (that's happened before).

I don't see how people are saying "I hear Storm Alert music", when we don't even know what they use for storm alert music, beause they havn't gone into storm alert yet...  :dunno:

They are hearing the storm Alert music from previous years (2005, 2006). ;)
