It almost looks as if they forgot to update the haze icon. With the way the FOG icon looks like, I would expect haze to look something like that. :unsure:

Whoa, I've never seen that before!

Anyone ever know the phrase, let alone the narration of, "Cooler near the lakeshore" existed on the Intellistar text based?

I heard hazy skies on the intellistar once back in 2004. That lakeshore narration is neat too, I wonder if something similar exists for ocean coastal areas too?

Wow, it feels so great not having a traffic map. I get to see my regional maps again! :D

Hehe, enjoy :P

A couple of LF related things I don't get here.
If the Intellistar can read the word "lakeshore" when it is used in the phrase "cooler near the lakeshore", then why can't it read lakeshore when it is part of the phrase "Lakeshore Flood Warning"?

Also, now that I'm seeing (and recording) the record high screen on 22842... I notice it uses simply "Lansing" as the site name in the wording... yet the almanac title is "Lansing Capital Reg. Int'l Arpt". I thought the Intellistar pulls the site name from the almanac title?

There's probably no audio file in the system for lakeshore flood warnings.

The Intellistar combines phrases... hence why you sometimes hear very brief pauses between some words that you and I could normally say connected. For instance, "very warm". I know the Intellistar has the narration for flood warning (as I've heard it for the Flash Flood Warning tone, and "Flood Warning" is how it reads "Lakeshore Flood Warning").

While I know some of you like seeing traffic on the LF, I personally don't think it belongs there.  Now that the traffic coverage is temporarily gone, you're seeing how much time is freed up for more weather products that I believe should be shown more often.

I was able to get "Malibu" by Eddie Reasoner w/o traffic data today and the song fits well with the summer weather we saw today. :yes:
