Paul's tall compared to everyone.

Even taller than Carl? I thought he was taller, or perhaps the same height as Paul.

We're in for summer-like temps this weekend! Here are the latest conditions and forecasts. Some local forecast clips will be recorded this weekend.

You liked YWT when they had no travel segment or region-by-region segments? That's what ruined the show's format, IMO. At least YWT's format today is a little more stable than it was 2007-08.

We have them around here. They're pretty good... unlimited fries with burgers.

Holy crap you have to be kidding me.  I was going to eat there today (they opened around here Monday) but found the prices to be excessive for a burger.  But unlimited fries?  Now it's justified.

I think the Ruby Tuesdays around here have unlimited fries too.

I like it. I would make those dark blue boxes a little brighter, though.

Man, we're in for a roller coaster ride as far as temperatures go. We're under a Frost Advisory tonight, but 36 hours from now we'll be well into the 80's, even close to 90°!

Does anyone know where I can find a list of all Intellistar units that exist or were installed along with the unit ID's and locations? I am curious to know where the first Intellistar was installed and the Unit ID's for some areas around here. I am also hoping to find out which area has unit ID 22841, as there is a gap between 22840 (Lansing) and 22842 (East Lansing).

There is no official list that I know of. We did have a database here on the site where users would submit their STAR data to it, but that disappeared awhile back for whatever reason.

Has anyone heard of Red Robins? This is a new burger restaurant they opened in my area last week. How is the food there? (if anyone has been there)

They're pretty good. We've had one for at least 10-15 years but they opened a closer one about five years ago.

At the start of the 10:50 PM ET segment, they showed the skytracker radar with a blank title bar.

Wow, they just raised my highs for this weekend, and we could be looking at some severe weather Sunday into Monday! 

You guys are getting warmer than us on Friday. We're only going up to 72°. Saturday calls for 87°, beyond my "comfort zone" (40-80°).

Wow, some stations are saying we could get up to 91° on Sunday! If this happens, I think this would be the first time we would hit the 90° mark in April since 2002.

No, they're all gonna be rehashed old episodes.

As for the openers, it's a shame. The DP theme is pretty much dead and never used now; same goes for Weekend Now.

First Outlook too, it seems.

My iBook G4 is horrible when it comes to video stuff. When I try to run my new tuner on it, it skips when I record. It's maxed out with memory (1.25 GB), and I have nothing open other than the recording program.

I just checked my Zap2It guide for the heck of it, and apparently Epic Conditions and WeatherVentures returns to the long-form block starting Monday, May 4th. Do they have another special week planned, or might TWC just be switching things up because FFN and ICHT is getting old?

It's for Great Escapes Week, which is scheduled to air the week of May 3-9.

BTW, why do they very seldom play the music to the openers for any of the shows other than YWT, PM Edition, and Weather Center? Instead, they just play production music over it.
