Are there any new changes?  It's been a couple months.  I was hoping things have gotten smoother and new features have been added.  :D

I don't think so. :no: I don't have the IS2, so I don't know for sure, but I'm guessing that if any changes had been made we'd know about them. ;)

Christina, did you happen to ever catch the Marine forecast? If not, that's OK but I know a lot of us are eager to see it. :)

From a comment I read on Facebook a few days ago, there's roughly about 100 IS2's operating.

Thanks!

I was wondering what the alert crawls would look like.

Why does Jim put so much emphasis on "at 5 to 10 miles per hour"? He makes it sound like it's shocking or something...

I've always been wondering about that. :thinking:

If you had to make the almost endless amounts of short weather recordings needed to encompass all possible local forecast readings, it would be impossible to speak each one with the same delivery style.  The IS simply takes all of Jim's recording cuts and pieces them together for an appropriate narration.  That's why all narrations can seem choppy and have varying tones and emphasis along the way.

Great videos, Mark! However, I notice a BIG problem: the warning crawl is covering up some of the information on the LDL. :thinking:

It's that way with the large LDL on the SD feed, too.

Comparing the HD and SD warning crawls, I think the HD is far less intrusive.  As for "BIG problem," I think it qualifies as a minor inconvenience, not as a "BIG problem."  Do you expect them to invest the time, effort, and money to completely reformat the LDL for a warning crawl which appears a small fraction of the total amount of time the LDL is shown?

I guess your right; it's not a big problem. I just don't see why TWC wouldn't think to create the LDL and warning crawl in such a way that this would not happen. :wacko: Although it's a minor inconvenience, this still could have been prevented from happening. ;)

Here's another video for all of you!  Notice the glitch in the middle with the national forecast showing through.  I have a second version of this forecast, just not uploaded yet (the other version shows the 48hr forecast as a graphical representation versus text).  Enjoy!
