Your Local Weather / Re: Philadelphia weather

Tomorrow is what is expected to be the last oppresive day this week. The next few days will still be warmer than average, but less humid making it more comfortable.

Here are two WeatherStar 4000 emulator clips that I recorded today:

6 AM report
5 PM report

A slight risk of severe weather is in the forecast for tomorrow evening. I'll post an update then if anything pops up.

Philly looks a lot different now with that new Comcast building.

It seems that other members are now having this problem. I tried clearing my cache and that didn't work. It seems this problem only occurs to members and not admins or testers. Do you think you can post a report to Simple Machines about this?

i was able to finally see the first outlook graphics - and imo they're pretty bad. idk what it is, it just doesn't have that "first outlook" feel.

Agreed. It doesn't have that "early morning" or "business travel" feel, if you get what I mean.

$53 to fill up my 16-gallon gas tank. I remember in the late 90's it cost less than $20 to fill it up.

For the first time this week, they're actually using a semi SD-friendly camera shot at the projector wall. It actually now looks like Adam us up at the key wall and not the projector wall. Sure, some parts of the maps are cut off, but everything is actually easy to read.

That's much better. I had a difficult time seeing the maps before.

What I do really like are the severe and tropical weather graphics, and the music used for them.

10.0 is indeed pretty buggy. People considered that version as a "beta version" even though it really wasn't. I wouldn't pay $105 for an old OS filled with bugs.

I love those Weather Center openers. Much more creative than the current openers.

TWC and your Cable Company / Re: TWC|HD comes to Comcast

..and you would think Comcrap would immediately add TWC HD once it was available considering it's a cable giant.

I really like all three of the weekend openers. Especially WV and WN, whose logos didn't change that much.
