Special Edition (aka red mode) of YWT... Mike's back after two and a half weeks.
Doesn't take much to go into red alert! Lets get some storm alert music :P

So, this is how TWC is going to make up for having no storm alerts or any hint of red modes during the last hurricane season.  Put up a red mode for an arctic air mass that will sweep the country over the next several days, which doesn't even constitute itself as a storm. :whistling:  Personally, I'd rather see normal coverage with special blue graphics to indicate the arctic blast coming as no one associates red with extreme cold, and it's sending a mixed message to viewers who normally associate all the red on the screen with serious storms.

Ditto. They're *kinda* taking it too far.

That is my thought as well.  Wherever this is, I sure do like the backdrop :yes:

It's in the back newsroom where they report on what's happening on weather.com and so forth. :yes:

Looks like that's the case. They just showed a wideshot of the old studio where the OCM offices are, and the backdrop was there.
My super-awesome website!

Why does TWC show segments from the radio meteorologists? Are they capable of doing something the OCM's can't? The radio mets should be doing their jobs - working on radio, not TV. Plus I doubt they even like being on camera, and they present the same exact things the OCM's present. It just doesn't make sense, IMO.

They've been doing that since Nor'Ida. I don't seem to get it either.  :thinking:
