General Discussion / Re: When did you start watching The Weather Channel?

Early 1998, that's when I remembered Chris Camozzi's music while watching our 4000. I watched it sporadically though as it wasn't until late 1999 when I started watching TWC on a regular basis.

One of the first songs I can remember hearing was Sea Breeze by Eddie Reasoner from 2Q 1999. Other songs I vividly remember from 1999 include Just Groovin and Fair Weather from the 3rd quarter, and Pleasant Days and Too Hot to Think from the 4th quarter. We had our XL by April or May 1999, but the shore still had the 4000 until at least the end of the summer that year as I remember seeing it in July.

Around 1996 or 97 was when I first discovered TWC, but ~early 1999 was when I started watching TWC on a regular basis, so I can only remember happenings as far back as around that timeframe. Boy do I miss those awesome XL and Weather Center graphics with the isobars.

Wow I wasn't expecting this... today I heard an ad on a local radio station about the new weather.com. I think this was the first time I heard a TWC ad on the radio.

Does anyone know of a place where I can view archived weather alerts? I saw there was a tornado warning in my area but it expired and I can't view it anymore, and I wanted to see what it was for, etc.

Yeah but I don't think anything was changed to the regional forecast maps.

The regional forecast/radar basemaps on the sat LF haven't been updated since 2004... they are well overdue for changes.

More special ed teachers are needed as the population with special needs is increasing.

About a quarter of my Earth science class, which I took freshman year, covered meteorology and atmospheric science, so I enjoyed that. I also always get the opportunity to learn the aspects of weather when we prepare our weather forecasts in the studio everyday.
