...and they're showing radar, so I guess that means that they'll be live though the night! I wonder if they'll have anyone else stepping in at 2 AM ET or if they'll have to do it all by themselves...

I was right, a special edition of the "Yeah, let's do that" show is next!

I'm going to record just in case. I think whether or not they do long-form overnight will be a good indicator of whether or not there's a chance of Sunrise Weather starting. If there's no long-form, it will probably just be a three-hour WO with two anchors for the whole thing, just like last weekend.

Just now...

Carl: Now we're going to talk about about the next seven days, so let's flip over and talk about that.

...and no a forecast for Dallas for this past Wednesday. This show seriously must be being done by the old PME crew!

Why is TWC still receiving Chicago video from WBBM (CBS O&O) as of today? Shouldn't NBC be putting a stop to that now?

Indeed, the classic PME jitters continue. At the bottom of the hour, there was a long black screen, followed by the Weekly Planner opener, followed by another long black screen, then finally a sudden cut to Kristina at the desk.

The only segment closing on my HDD from back then is from after 9/11 with the American Flag logo:

I have other stuff, but that's back at home.

I know what you're talking about, but that practice became very sparse from late 2001 onward, and I don't think I have it on video anywhere.

What I think it should be added is a ticker like a welcome message ticker from TWC Today

No way in hell; those look terribly unprofessional.

Well, I guess that means that Rita will continue to hold the record for longest Storm Alert at 51 hours. This one only lasted 47 hours.

Did you guys see Carl and Kristina scrambling and confused at the top of the show? It's as if they didn't get the message that they were going on the air. Glad to see that typical PM Edition behavior is back.

I wonder if long-form will return tonight; Adam and Kristin obviously can't anchor the whole night, and I don't think Paul is well enough to work tonight (they finally let him off at 3 AM ET, BTW). I was honestly expecting to see a pairing like Warren and Kristina now followed by Carl and Alex on EE, but that's not going to happen now. I wonder if they might call in Rich and Sharon to "do that" tonight.

Instead of having the precip and temps separate, they present the precip for Sunday, then the temps for Sunday, then the precip for Monday, then the temps for Monday, etc.
