Adam Berg and Kim Perez on Day Planner today.  :wacko: :blink:
Probably because Carl is off (he didn't show up at all for WN this weekend) and Heather was on YWT.

my OCD continues to kick in... They really need to fix that Weather Center logo that is on the monitors as it's not 4:3 safe at all... It's Weather Center, not EATHER CENTE  <_< <_<

I started to notice that as well. They need to shorten the graphics a little.  :noexpression:

Well that was awkward... The Weather Center West Coast show started late, and once it started, it was awkward. Paul was like "welcome back to weather center" I'm like "what an awkward way to start the show"...

I know! I just noticed them....TWC is finally starting to realize that flashy isnt always better. Sometimes the tried and true method is the best one. These maps look much much better. Just goes to show, less is more!

it seems like a lot of the maps have been altered...the temperature and precip maps especially, but the others too, in fact I am seeing many many similarities(other than the text boxes and the title bars) between these maps and the pre-HD maps...hmmm  :thinking:

All I can say is:  :sick:

They look a lot like the 2006-2008 ones, which I never liked. And those HUGE indicators make it look very cluttered.

Ew. I hope those were just temporary, because I don't like them. I actually do like the maps they've been using since the HD launch...

Wow, they're showing a Climate Quiz! Haven't seen that since before the HD relaunch...
