Something about this doesn't feel permanent. I don't think there was any "welcome" for Bill as the new host, and Eboni (who's with Kelly today) certainly doesn't seem like she could be Bill's replacement. I have a feeling we'll just be seeing KRob on YWT Monday and Tuesday and Bill from Wednesday-Friday until something is worked out.

Why they haven't working something out by now since Marshall's retirement was obviously planned is beyond me.

Has anyone ever noticed that the clock in the "O" of the Your Weather Today logo is pointing to 7:00, the slot it's been since January 3, 2000? I just noticed it the other day...

I noticed that the very first week; TWC likes symbolism in their logos...

Thanksgiving week? Yeah, that makes a lot of sense.

Did they do anything special this morning?

weather.com has a video of it; we've been talking about it here.

8:10...I just flipped over, but it looked (and sounded) like they played the Abrams and Bettes bumper during YWT.   

Today they resumed doing something they haven't done in a very long time: a recorded teaser for A&B that plays when coming back from break on YWT. I wonder what made them decide to start doing it again...

I apparently got my autographed photo of Marshall in the mail back at home yesterday; talk about quick!

nice picture I wish I had one.
Speaking of Marshall. His last show is Thursday, according to Heather.
But Idk why he'd leave on a Thursday. lol

It's Thursday now? It was Wednesday last time I heard. 

No, it's still Wednesday. Heather misspoke that one time.

They played the First Outlook (normal) intro music for the YWT Weekly Planner opener at 6:20 PM CT.

That's actually normal on pretty much every day except Friday, where they play the special YWT segment opener music.

WWC was using the EE studio colors today like they were during the very first WWC in the HD studio. I wonder what was up with that...

I don't think there's anything funny about getting eaten...

Yeah, that was Trammell Starks, which is always used for the emergency feed.

In fact, for the entirety of Sunrise Weather, they couldn't get audio and video from the control room at the same time, so pretty much the whole show was dominated by the emergency feed and by some attempts to show the widescreen maps meant for the video wall using frames.

Contributions / Dr. Steve in a box

For the end of Dr. Steve Lyons's Tropical Updates for the year on Wednesday, Paul and Jim decided to do a funny series of skits involving putting Dr. Lyons in a box for the off-season...

They actually rehashed it several times throughout the day, including during the first Tropical Update where they mentioned how it would be Marshall's last day introducing the Tropical Update and how they'll miss him always being around to fix computer problems.

I guess you could say that come Wednesday, Marshall's career is going to "Seese".
