And the weather information is... where?

i guess TWC really thinks viewers will visit weather.com during those times.

Other than that whoever doesn't have any internet is basically screwed out of weather

How would you get a local cable company to get weatherscan? I called today and they said they weren't aware of it and they would let their marketing department know about it, but I'm guessing they won't get it.

Best way is to contact TWC's public relations and let them know your cable company is interested.

Did TWC send half their team out to cover this Tropical Storm, only for it to fall completely apart as it literally crashed into the dry air?

They sent out Paul Goodloe and Jim Cantore and a NBC reporter was out there but i forgot her name.

That batch of convection west of the Invest looks to be it's own system, but that's just me.

So everyone is happy how about this?

two things TWC should do next is implement the 36hr forecast when precipitation is forecasted in a 36hr period.

and implement the 24hr Forecast when no precipitation is forecasted in a 24hr period.

but when any significant weather event takes place, they can prove of vital importance, conveying information that otherwise wouldn't be available.

with the current Statement feature being added to the Star's the Text-Based forecast in the 36hr and 48hr format would no longer be needed.

Reasons why the 48hr and 36hr Text-Based Local Forecast should be discontinued

1. there is no need to show example "Saturday Night" and "Sunday's" Forecast because the average viewer isn't going to sit through 2 mins and 90 seconds just for 4 text-based screens.

2. With both the 48hr and 36hr removed, more weather-related screens would show in their place.

3. the current effect of both the 48hr and 36hr allow for longer text to be shown which means longer narration and a dragged on boring local forecast, if TWC only showed the 24hr they could just show what is going to occur in a day's span instead of an erroneous 2 days the 48hr and 36hr show.

it's just basic common sense to limit the Text to 24hr if the next day is already shown on the 7 day Forecast.
