Surprise! Carl Parker is filling in for Paul tonight on EE. He's got his voice back, and apparently he's been trained for HD. He appeared in the HD studio before, but that was only a desk appearance for a few minutes.

Interesting; during Weather Center, they've been using a legacy build of Skytracker with the Interstate font, dark blue water, and satellite imagery map.

Nope, not HD.

Apparently Dave and Vivian are up at the top of the hour. Could it possibly be in HD? Is Dave ready for HD? I'm actually surprised they're bringing Dave into this situation. Perhaps Dolly is funny?

Yes, it's in HD; it figures that I fell asleep, and the 10AM-12 PM CT hours aren't recorded. I'm back recording now, though.

Is it me, or is the YWT too darn cheerful for the situation? An anticipated cat 2 is still nothing to take lightly.

It should be a while from now (several months). We don't do it that often. I imagine it would help if more people would be able to participate.

Bill is surprisingly filling in for Jen today on FO, and what do you know...

3:10 AM CT

Bill: Now let's see what's going on with all of the storms out there with Jeff.

Jeff: All right, let's go ahead and do that, what do ya say, Bill?

It seems like it's a classic way to end the show now...

This is boring...

Seriously though, do you folks think pre-empting would be merited here, or is this system not really worth it?

I wonder what TWC is going to do at 2 AM CT. Surely they wouldn't go into long-form?!?

It happens every night during all four hours of EEWC. I reported this issue to the STAR Team over 30 days ago, but they don't seem too bothered to fix it anytime soon. :/

Glad to know I'm not the only one who does that. I still haven't posted the First Outlook openers yet.

...and surprisingly, EEWC just grazed over the topic of Dolly and focused instead on the region-by-region forecast. It also looks like they might not even go live through the night. This is nothing like we would've seen two years ago.

They're going to Sharon and Rich at the top of the hour. I guess with the new schedule there's no more such thing as a three hour regular EE?
