AAAAHHHHH!!!!!!! They just added that dreaded bar to the bottom of the screen (the same one used for hurricanes and such): "WINDY WEATHER"

I just saw an NBC promotion on TWC before the :57 identification.

I can only assume that this has happened because NBC Universal bought it.

Wow, that was an awesome shot; they showed Rich sitting all the way to the left of the big desk (with a different-than-usual wall shot behind him), then the new "cylinder" graphic flew in with the Evening Edition logo and city background (from the recorded teaser) on it. Pretty cool, IMO

the same one that always seems to air whenever I tune to the weather channel?

but today it's apparently the one where they're talking about a dust storm on the highway between Phoenix and Tuscon in Arizona and such at the end...

That, my friends, is called "rerun abuse".

Gee, there's a nor'easter going on here, yet TWC thinks a history lesson is more important. :rolleyes:

Try 43.6 degrees Farenheit in a suburb of Tampa at 9:57 PM at night in October. <_<

We're supposed to break record lows tonight. :brr:

Try 37 degrees Fahrenheit, with a wind chill of 33 in Pensacola at 6:26 AM in the morning in October, with a Freeze Warning to boot. :brr: :P
