General Weather Chat / Re: What's the weather in your area?

87° mostly cloudy, feels like 90°. Looks like today might finally break the 10-day streak of 90°+ temperatures if the clouds stay around. Also this is the longest heat wave we've had here since 1999.

Yesterday's high at PHL Int'l was 101°. Many others also reached the century mark.

I noticed the weather app on everyone's side profile seems to be malfunctioning... it just shows "Fair" and N/A degrees... is this being looked into?

Why are almost all of you assuming doom and gloom from this deal? Things like this happen all the time with private companies, and maybe this whole deal won't be so bad after all. At least give it a chance before we all judge that it will be a complete failure.

Sorry I took it too seriously last night... it wasn't my best of days already and this really put me down. But still, I would expect the API to become proprietary since TWC had done that with weather.com a few months back. And this will most definitely make parsing data nearly impossible for things like the 4000 emulator, and other projects we've been working on, since there aren't really any other free APIs out there anymore.

I agree I think this is going to be great for both sides! If many of you actually read the blog post you would see that Wunderground will continue to operate independently. TWC has a lot to gain from this including ingesting the tens of thousands of personal weather stations around the country which can then be put into their forecasting algorithms. I would love to see HiRad with this data in it!

Are you serious?!?! Any emulations we make are going to be impossible now because they are going to make their sources PROPRIETARY!

IM JUST FUMED.

See that link to SnapCast in my siganature that some friends and I have worked HARD on! That's going to be all gone now, because of this crap. FML, just FML.

Instagram, Netflix, and Pinterest

Foursquare was also down for a bit Saturday morning. I know they have servers in NYC but idk if the outage was related to the storms though.

Usually you'll hear 3-beep narration 3-beep at initial issue of the warning then after the first completion of the product, it will go to the 4-beep pattern until the warning expires. Do correct me if I am wrong.

Occasionally however the warning crawl restarts entirely (you can tell when the crawl flashes a split second), even if there isn't an update. When this occurs you'll also hear the narration.
