There was one time where my area had a Special Weather Statement and all the As were missing. So it'd be like "Expect He vy r in l ter tod y  nd through this evening." Kind of made it hard to read. That certainly was a special weather statement alright.

That's a common error on all domestic IntelliSTAR's. One time all of the "T's" were replaced with small "4's".........

Just recently tonight, during the part of the show where they show just the precip they had one of the names read "LABEL" instead of "SUNNY" or "SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS"

I've seen many cases where letters are missing or partially missing (take for example Grand Led_e and East Lansin_ on my 8 city last January)... but the metro and regional maps I have not seen it on.

That looks like that would've been fun to watch their reaction to.

Most of the time they don't react to it outright, they keep their professional composure, which is what you're supposed to do.

Dave Schwartz would have spent the whole rest of the segment going on a tangent about the mistake.

I just wake up to Betty saying TD 2-E is in the Atlantic, yet it's in the Pacific. :yawn:

Great catches, Henry. Somehow, I still have recordings from both times.

So I happened to have my tuner window up on my desktop, and noticed this...
A few seconds after that, they recentered that map as well.
