Those who use GRLevel3, could somebody show me a tutorial on how to add a banner to the radar imagery like what I have seen on some people's posts? They can just PM it to me if they don't want to post it here. Thanks.

Finally...although I've never really thought about it, Jim Cantore does seem to have changed over the years. I'm sure he's still a great guy, but he seems to have a bit of an ego these days that's a bit off-putting.

Jim's not the same probably because of all the work he's been doing for TWC. There's no doubt he's exhausted and stressed from all of that. I mean, there's no way I could host a live show, and host two pre-recorded shows, report during hurricanes, and be featured in promos all at once and still be happy and free of stress.

I do give kudos to whoever answered that question though.

I liked the 33% LDL, it shows a lot more important information than just the small one.

This storm has a more interesting track... it may actually hit the US coast, even though it still has at least two weeks before it will probably make landfall anywhere.

Yeah, my IntelliStar config was nearly identical to my XL when it first rolled out. Then it went through several config changes starting in mid 2005 (as did most other STARs).

Is senior meteorologist Jon Erdman still at TWC? I haven't seen him on Weather Center in months.

Hermine appears to have somewhat of an eye on the radar, even though it's only a tropical storm.

Looks like we won't get as much snow this winter, but I hope we'll still get a good winter storm or two.

It was early 2004, February I believe... I really didn't pay much attention because I confused the two stars at first since they had the same background.

Yeah, that's why I can't really remember exactly when mine was upgraded either. At first, the only difference I noticed was that more narration was added.
