The fourth song is definitely Ryan Farish, but I've never heard of it before. Must be from that new Beautifall album.

Why are they still showing the Hurricane Authority openers? There are no tropical systems out there.

Meh, the segment openers are okay. I really liked the older ones though. The text in the new openers are too big.

I got back from Portland yesterday. It was a lot of fun.
I was so busy, I only recorded 2 intellistar clips. And yes, they were taken at different times so that the weather/traffic information was different. I also captured a very brief clip of Portland's weatherscan. This actually marks the first time I've seen weatherscan live! I'll post the clips on youtube later..

Can't wait to see the clips!

Does anyone know any way I could find out what songs played at a store? There's this song I heard at Sears that I really liked and I would like to know what it's called.

Especially now that they restored the temperature maps to their former glory...

Exactly. Now all they need to do is ditch the key for the forecast maps and bring back the text that overlayed the color codes on the maps like before the HD relaunch. As it is now, the light rain code is so bright that it keeps making me think it means rain and snow! It's also hard to tell how heavy the precip will be without the text overlaying it, and whether it will be scattered or numerous.

They never answer judging from past experience. I've tried calling them several times (via the toll free number) to request something about my Star and it always goes to the answering machine.

Well, there is a FAQ on weather.com about when the weekly planner airs, so it is a possibility that it is indeed America's favorite segment.

I personally always found the weekly planner the most useful and interesting segment since I started following TWC in the late 90's.

I called the weatherSTAR team 2hr ago about my star problem and still no action has been taken also is anyone watching X-Games?

Did someone answer when you called or did it go to an answering machine?

Not sure. You spent a lot of hard work making those weather graphics so you deserve to have those weather reports read.

Indeed. They comment Paul's, but not mine. It sometimes takes me more than an hour to complete each report, depending on how many screens I have to edit. Therefore, they could use some comments.

What source do you use for your forecasts? It doesn't look like they came from the NWS or TWC, judging by how it's written.
