It's suppose to go up to 98° here this Saturday!  It's been a few years since it's been that hot this early in the year.

I checked NWS and I don't see a tornado warning in your area.

They also just played an old "Weather 101" segment explaining derechos featuring Carl Parker as narrator and Dr. Forbes standing on that old mini-set that used to be used for The Weather Classroom as well as a few EE segments during the 03-05 era.

Did you capture this?

TrafficPulse isn't going anywhere. When you start driving to work you'd probably couldn't live without it.

Overall, this isn't what I expected. I likewise don't like the idea of not using LIVE tags in the studio. The lower thirds are even more similar to each other than the older ones, and I don't like how they dont take up the whole screen. I was thinking they'd look like the lower thirds on the HD promos on twcmediakit. They were much better. Also, I was hoping the projector screens would look better than the chroma key, but it looks dimmer and it doesn't take up the whole screen, making it harder for me to see. I'd give this a 5/10.

Maybe YouTube removed them?

No, because it said it was removed by the user. If YouTube were to remove that many videos by him, he would be suspended by now. I guess he didn't want to cause any copyright problems after hearing about the upcoming TWC acquisition.

Speaking of shadyjay, I wonder what happened to most of his XL videos on YouTube? He deleted most of them awhile back.

Indeed. We're getting pretty close to the 200 mark!

According to Gas Buddy, a gas station in Mount Holly is $2.85. Unless a really big sale is going on there, that information has to be false. If it is true, there must be a big traffic jam up there!

Elsewhere around here remains steady at anywhere between $3.80 and $3.95.

Anyone see the WC open? Very nice!! I love the music, plus, I really like the spinning globe. So far, I think its the only show logo using Interstate as the font (unless FO does,I didn't see it).

No, First Outlook doesn't use Interstate.

Weather Center is indeed the best one so far. YWT isn't bad either. Can't wait to see the weekend graphics!
