I've seen it first hand, only on the LF right now, as it's not showing during national programming for some reason (megamanfan, have you seen it during national?). Here are my initial observations (it's slightly different than the TWCT pics I posted):

1) There is animation, which I like. The LDL animated in... the tabs animate, and glow when the tab which is meant to be in focus moves left.
2) The Local Ad Crawl is nicer, with smaller font, and, surprisingly, I really like how it looks. I hope the watch/warn/advisory crawls aver very similar.
3) The time AND temp are now shown on the bar at the same time.
4) The data animates downwards, like the Satellite HD LDL.
5) It seems the monthly precip isn't showing during the LF for some reason. That's a bug I'll have to report.
6) The icons really need to be larger.
7) The pressure indicator has been fixed! No more tiny arrows you can't see.

And, as stated, it doesn't match the current LF look that well, but, it's a GREAT improvement, IMO.

Is anyone seeing their LDL during national right now? Or is it just me not seeing it?

In answer to your question, no, the icons don't animate.

I'm seeing the LDL live this morning with new stuff:

1) The almanac data on the LDL has been expanded away from just sunrise/sunset data, to now include monthly precip average and avg high temp for the day.
2) The LDL has a 3 day forecast on  it. This may just be a AM feature, though.
3) I'm not seeing Air Quality or UV Outlooks, so I'll report it as a bug.
4) Today's Forecast shows words instead of an icon, which is nice: "SCT'D T'STROMS, A FEW STORMS MAY BE SEVERE. HIGH 76." This also may be just a morning feature.


Seeing a tornado watch now on the LDL now... I like how it's tabbed in there with the other forecast data.

Update: I'm seeing several counties are missing from the tornado watch on the LDL. This also appears to be a bug. Westmoreland, Greene, and Indiana counties are all missing.

Wow, very nice!!! It looks a lot better than the black bar!

Question: I know you guys are going to scream at me for this, but does this apply to the SD feed, or? ....

Other things I've noticed through the day:

1) The date is no longer displayed. I will have them note that I, for one, found it useful. Not sure if the removal of the date was intentional or not.
2) Air Quality and the UV Index are only displayed every few rotations. This needs to be looked at.
3) Incidents aren't displaying, even though they are supposed to.
4) Travel Cities, Airport Delays, and the 3 Day forecast are now shown all day, which I don't mind.

Is the Local Wx ID still shown?  Cuz if it is, and the date isn't...I'd seriously bring that to the attention of someone.
