Video Forecasts from weather.com from the late 2000s

[Dylan]

Does anybody remember the online video forecasts that TWC had on weather.com many years ago? Well, there is a very small number of them on YouTube, but I was wondering if (other than the small few already on YouTube) anybody has them stored up somewhere that they could upload somewhere sometime. It would be a nice blast from the past, and it'd especially be interesting if there were any somewhere from before the icons changed in December 2006, both the OCM locals and the locals that had music and Allen Jackson narrations that came after an OCM showed a 36 hour regional forecast.

Can you link to an example or two?

That top one has some production song called "Dance Energy" by "Steve Everitt" and I'd be interested in better quality versions of the three you'll find in the channel on the bottom to see if they (along with others not in any YouTube videos) could be identified. Also, the locals that have music after an OCM gives a regional forecast for the closest region to the location have a title bar that suggest the graphic was created sometime between September 29, 2003 and October 2005. Possibly, the graphic was created way back then and was never updated for years until March 2010, when they overhauled the online locals to have graphics similar to their then-on-air appearance and got new music for those videos. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AKr3sKtm2Cc The graphic in that video first appeared in March 2010, but would continue to be used with outdated graphics until being retired in August 2014. These online forecasts were retired completely by the beginning of 2015. I'd be interested in being able to track down when they first started doing these forecast videos for curiosity's sake, especially since the first style I saw in 2007 was already using 2-year outdated graphics (even though the icons did change). I really do miss these online locals though, both the ones with music and the OCMs doing the forecast dedicated to those areas.

Can't say I've ever seen those before.
