They took out the isobars? <_<
Well, they still exist on the "Current Weather" map, but that map isn't used very often.

Yeah they used to be on ALL the maps.  <_<

Tonight on EE, Skytracker is being controlled by a third party off-camera, just like on the weeknight EE. I wonder if the weeknight behind-the-scenes crew is running the show tonight.

Yet another random thought: I noticed that a few days ago, the LCD TV next to the Global Forecast Center was removed, and I noticed today that the TV on the right side of the big desk looks different than before. I do know that the TV at the big desk started going bad recently, so I wonder if they took the GFC TV and moved it over to the big desk because they didn't want to buy a new TV for a set that will go out of use by the end of the year. I might be wrong about this, though; I'll have to go back and check if it really is a different TV at the big desk now.

There is an extra hour of Evening Edition tonight, and it's being hosted by Cheryl Lemke solo. However, the teasers still had voiceovers from Adam Berg and Kristina Abernathy (because it was pre-recorded).

Also strange was the WWCH bumper at the top of the hour. Things were really weird at the top of the hour.

Okay, I now understand why we actually got that brief reprieve from WWCH ads, but now they're back to stay for the time being. :(

What happened is that on Friday morning, in preparation for the expected severe weather outbreak, the programming department issued a long-form preemption order for Sunday, meaning that WWCH would not air. However, TWC only has two types of WWCH ads: one that says "Sunday" and one that says "Tomorrow." Since the next episode of WWCH wouldn't be until Monday, neither ad fit the situation, so they had no choice but to fall back on the generic ads, bumpers, and LF openers. Now that it actually is Sunday, the "Tomorrow" ad for WWCH is applicable, so we're getting that shoved down our throats again.

That was really weird; just now on First Outlook, they typed out Jen Carfagno's L3 as "JENNIFER CARFAGNO."

I've never heard or seen her referred to as Jennifer.

I've always called her Jennifer Carfagno.  Always.  I'm not quite sure why.  I assume I do that because I have seen her been called Jennifer before.  Hmm..  :huh:
