It seems TWC silently updated the Intellistar today or last night. The only major changes I can see so far, are to the radar. The Radar color looks softer, because they removed the shadow. Also, city labels have a white box around them making them easier to see, just like the National LF and WSI Max radars.

EDIT: I just checked, and the IS2 has also had a few changes done to the radar and sidebar. The radar has the new city labels and radar colors, but the radar animates much faster and smoother than before. Also, the sidebar now has a rain forecast that shows the forecasted amount of rain for the next day.

Looks like they followed at least one of my suggestions from a year ago...

The county lines were removed from the regional radar on SD Intellistars

Earlier this morning the county lines were still on my IS's radar, but not anymore.

Although this is speculation, it looks like the is2 received TruVu Max radars because the color tables match the on air Max color table plus the radar animates very quick and smoothly like TruVu Max. Unlike before the color table was different and animated slowly frame by frame.

The I2jr radar was updated, too. It's easier to see and it now has the time lapse bar at the top, which it did not have before, but I think the regular IS already had that, right?

The state borders and highways are now a little more defined on the I2HD

A new production song played at 6:38pm CST. It sounds like a TWC production song, but it doesn't seem like a show theme. Maybe it's a production song for a new show?

It could also be for Maria's new show. It seems more appropriate for a weekend morning show to me. We'll see.

TWC updated their Storm Alert Graphics for the National LF compared to last year with no storm alert graphics.

Does anyone know when the Weather bulletins graphic returned? I know it was like this originally, but thenit was changed to be text only.

As far as I know, it's been like that since this weekend. Everything else before was text.

It was taken off the Istar SD a while back but remained on the I2jr and I2HD the whole time. The video referenced from Charleston is an I2JR
