I believe Zach is right, looks like he was at a baseball field (?) and someone just added the house and the tornado in. Notice how his feet are sunk into the grass.

I moved into the first house of my own about a month ago. During the five or so years I was at my apartment, I was without a local forecast and didn't get TWC HD. Now that I'm in a covered area, I have Cox Cable again. I was bored today (there never seems to be anything on when I want to watch TV) and tuned to TWC. Needless to say I was amazed. Aside from the logo, three OCMs, and parts of the Intellistar, there was NOTHING about the channel that I recognized! Then I tuned into TWC HD (I had to purchase a new TV when I moved). The clarity is nice, but WOW! Talk about sensory overload!! I swear, there wasn't a graphic on it that wasn't animated! It was so rediculous that I actually laughed out loud at some of it. For example, on the 5 day outlook, there's a neon snake (as best I can describe) that goes up and down where the temperatures are listed. What exactly is the point of that? :huh:

Never seen an OCM post about a playlist, except for Eric Fisher when he posted about the Home Alone Theme...

I agree, the I2HD is way too distracting.

I may not be caught up to the times yet, but does "Weather Center Live" have 3 meteorologists on the show every night?  I always see Kelly Cass posting on Facebook that she will be on with 2 other people.  Is this a new format?

OK wow, don't know when this happened, but weather.com has changed its look...again.  The changes are very minor, mainly only with the city search and menu bars at the top.  So far, I don't like it. :no:  The navigation is confusing.

This could be in a beta mode, so if you don't see a difference, it may just be TWC testing something.  I've attached a screenshot below so you all can see what I'm talking about.

Odd, I'm still seeing the old design, but I agree I don't like it either. :no:

Andy, which page on the site was that on? From the looks of it, it looks like the site didnt fully load for you, or there's CSS coding errors on that particular page.

OK guys, here I go again with making posts before thinking twice. :wall: For some reason whenever I type weather.com into my browser, I am automatically re-directed to beta.weather.com.  This new design was on the front page of beta.weather.com.

So I guess the design really was in beta. :P  Sorry for the confusion.  I have no idea if this will roll out eventually or not.

Ah, now I see it, still don't like it though.
