I don't even see a couch in the interview area yet. I wonder if there was a problem getting that in there as of right now.

At the top of the hour, they used a recorded teaser with lame production music for the the teaser and the opener. I'm kind of disappointed by this launch overall. :/

It looks like they've decided to use the desk (faced the same way as PME) and keep Bill wearing a tie, so basically Weekend View is now the same program as Weekend Planner, just with a different name.
Oh, and instead of using the opener they've used all along, they're using one that just quickly generates the logo and features the same cut of music as the Weekend Outlook opener.

This inexperienced Master control crew for Weekend Outlook just had a big failure. When trying to go to Ray at the key wall, they instead switched to a yellow screen saying "Server Parse in progress, please wait." and Ray's mic failed to work. They switch over to Titan radar fairly quickly, but his mic still wasn't working. Since Cheryl's mic was still enabled, you could hear her whispering, "I don't get it," and then you could hear someone else in the room tell Cheryl that Ray's mic wasn't on, so Cheryl told Master, "Can someone turn his mic on? Ray's mic's not on." Video to come tomorrow.

Great, it's looking like I might get hit with bad weather just in time for the WV HD launch. I can't guarantee that I'll even have the video of the first segment in HD, which I'd really like to provide you guys. Hopefully it all goes well, though.

Ugh, I'm still dead tired after staying up for all of Leo Laporte's "24 Hours of iPhone" Thursday and Friday, I'm still going to try to pull this off and report on the WV HD launch. I'm actually getting bored waiting.

LOL @ Adam during the last Tropical Update today:
"Look at that guy! That's actually Bertha!"
Perhaps Bertha had a sex change?

I'm sad too; those were a good four days of them working together.

I knew someone would miss the intentionally small text at the bottom of my last post...
I also noticed that Jen managed to match the yellow of the set with two separate outfits on Monday and Wednesday.

Yeah, there are a lot of cool shots from that studio setup. Maybe I'll post screencaps sometime.

AFAIK, NWS bulletins are public data; you can do whatever you want with them.

Wow, Jen is wearing shorts this morning. I don't believe I've ever seen that on TWC before.
They're short shorts, too!
(Ok, I'm kidding on that point; they're knee-length shorts.)

All weekend OCMs work either Wed-Sun or Sat-Wed.

Well let's do down there and brust through the studio doors demanding that they bring back those maps. They're not all safe and underground now.
