They have never implemented seconds onto a STAR's clock since the debut of the black LDL on the XL in September 2003. That is likely a feature TWC thought had no value to the viewer, and their reasonings were correct or else the seconds would have been implemented after a while.
They had the date on the IntelliSTAR's black LDL bar, though, but got rid of it when the blue bar made its debut in June 2008.

I only spoke about the seconds on a clock, not the date. ;)

I'm surprised they didn't send Jim out into the field...

Call me ignorant, but how big is this severe weather outbreak supposed to be?  We've had a couple of severe outbreaks within the past month or two with the same conditions as are being forecasted here (damaging winds, hail, tornadoes), and no one has been sent out into the field from what I can remember. :thinking:  So what makes this outbreak different from the rest?

First moderate risk we've had this year, and SPC has 15% of significant tornadoes. That hasn't been seen in a while.

According to Carl Parker, TWC will be live all night long into the morning hours.

I noticed that on the Station ID, it still says "Copyright 2011" when it is 2012 now.

I noticed that a week ago too.

I think these things sometimes take awhile to get updated. :thinking:

This might be the longest in a while that TWC has been live for over 24 hours.
I believe they started at 4am Sunday and will be live through at least 5pm Monday.
Alex and Scott are coming on early at 3am ET.

During YWT a lower 3rd popped up saying something towards the degree of "Live Coverage All Day for Severe Weather."
