That's definitely something new. I can't recall them ever using that before.

Was it my imagination or was someone leaning on Vivian's chair when Weathercenter began at 2:00?  I thought maybe it was Dr. Forbes or someone else they were planning to go to, but they didn't.  :wacko:

Kelly Cass and Betty Davis are hosting the 4PM ET hour of Weather Center since Storm Stories was pre-empted today. Though, I think Storm Stories wasn't shown yesterday and the WC crew did host the last hour of WC.

Who? The PME crew? No, they only work until 7PM ET when Abrams & Bettes starts and goes for two hours, followed by a three-hour Evening Edition.

Was Weather Center full-controlled today? They showed stuff that I don't normally see in a master controlled show.

Wait...they cancelled Storm Stories?  Or was it just because of the severe weather the last couple of days?

At 11:10/1:10 CT tonight on EEWC, they used the 03-05 style lower third with the still current EE background that they've been using on the Weather Updates lately. I never thought that would make it into a normal broadcast.

IMO, they should just stick with that one - nice and small.
