As of this morning I have not seen a 2-minute LF flavor (it might be a mix-up due to coverage of TS Isaac) unless I missed something. Did anyone see a 2-minute flavor this morning?  :unsure:
The LFs are shortened due to Isaac, something that's been done since 2005 :yes:
Ahh, I see now. I was well unaware that shortened LFs during coverage of hurricanes/tropical storms are normal. Thanks for the info Zach  :)

I haven't seen that phrase before, but I can interpret it as I've seen that come up in NWS forecasts.  It's saying that while showers are likely given the 60% chance of rain, the chance of a thunderstorm is lower but still there.

No LF at 10:08am, we may be heading into the duration of coverage where LFs will be limited or temporarily discontinued.

Maybe the LF's would only be limited to only :28/:58?

It might be, but since I made that post all LFs have aired at their specific timeslots (the one for :18 after the hour aired a minute early)

TWC - Memphis IntelliStar - FULL DAY of CC Screen Observations!



I was home sick from school today, so I decided to record ALL of the day's LF's CC screens (with the exception of the 3:18 PM CT LF because my IS decided not to cue) and put them into this video. I was even lucky enough to catch a Tornado Warning scroll and a Wind Advisory scroll, courtesy of some of the outer bands of Isaac. Notice the "Showers in the Vicinity with Windy Conditions" CC report at 1:40!

How odd, I was listening to "Rushing" by Moby on my computer and then I clicked to play your video only to find out that Rushing was playing again and then I realized that you used Rushing for the video.  :o
