General LF Discussion

[twcfan68]

As does Day Planner. The new timing of the Local Forecasts appears to be for all shows. Most of the Local Forecasts start on the 9's for me.

At 11:38 AM ET, I saw an interesting flavor lineup on 24629..

CC > Regional Radar > Marine Forecast > Today's Forecast (metro map) > 36 Hour Forecast > The Week Ahead

The CC narration was omitted and all 3 text LF slides omitted the wind narration.

IIRC, one minute flavors have had the marine forecast since the 2010 flavor changes.

Is End of the Line by Daft Punk ok to upload on YT? Scratch that, is any Daft Punk song that played back in May 2011 ok to upload? (And I don't mean through any kind of tricks or workarounds with the audio, that doesn't work for me anyway I've tried.) There was a severe weather outbreak here in the latter part of that month and one of the LFs features music by them. I don't care if it's tagged, but if the video is going to be blocked in certain countries I'll just skip over it.

And while I'm thinkin' about it, how about "Guyute" by Phish also.

[Zach]

End of Line im not too sure, maybe a tag?

And Guyute will have a tag

[toxictwister00]

Oh ok, I guess I might change the music in the video that has Daft Punk in it. Thanks for the help.

You can try, because I have a DP song up with only ads

Guyute is fine. End of Line is a hit or miss. My Williamsburg, VA IS clip of it was tagged but not blocked but my HD LF clip of it was blocked

Well I guess I'll be lucky and only get a tag at worst since the clip I'm talking about is from the IntelliStar which is perfectly fine.

Has anyone ever captured a Red, purple (or even maroon, should it exist on any LF system)?
I'd love to see one, as I can't seem to find anything worse than orange.
Also: Does maroon exist on any LF system and would it have its own LDL crawl?

[Trevor]

Red or purple what? Please be more specific.

[TheTWCman]

Sorry, somehow forgot the most important part: Air Quality Forecast. How could I miss that out?

[Trevor]

Ah, LOL. I was a bit confused.

The colors on the Air Quality screen have always been as follows (from bottom to top). The words in parentheses are the words that show on the color itself.

Green (Good)
Yellow (Moderate)
Orange (Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups)
Red (Unhealthy), I've seen this once or twice on my STAR in person but never online, fairly rare
Maroon (Very Unhealthy), Never seen this one in person or online...VERY rare

In my opinion, Maroon shouldn't exist...I don't even think it's ever shown on a STAR. If Maroon were to show, I would think there would be a Weather Bulletin for an Air Quality Alert.

Hope that I answered some of your questions. Again, anyone feel free to chime in or correct me on the above.

[WeatherWitness]

I haven't had the STAR in awhile, so I may be incorrect, but it is to my knowledge that purple comes before maroon in air quality alerts.  Purple means "very unhealthy" and maroon means "hazardous."  Purple is not normally shown on the STAR unless it is needed, of course.  I think the worst level I have seen on a STAR is red.

Also, I believe a Weather Bulletin for an air pollution watch is shown for levels orange and above, not just for maroon.   I am not sure if there is such as thing as a bulletin for an "air quality alert" though.  (I assume there is a difference.  To me, the alert is like a warning.)

[Zach]

No, the order that Trevor said is correct there is no purple on the AQ
