I like the narration! Guess im the only one

TWC should throw in some animated icons or something. Its a nice format but the whole forecast seems kinda blah to me. Im sure we will see a lot of changes in the months ahead.

Yea I dont see WeatherScan going anywhere. I think development of Weather+ is still an option since some locals want to display OCMs on the forecast.

I think the economy is trying to repair itself. These companies made foolish deals and now they are paying for it. I don't see why the federal goverment should bail them out. Some Americans are greedy and are paying the price for it. My family has a lot of money in the stock market and it does concern me to see these numbers. Its a shame to see that our next president is going to be either Obama or McCain. I have few kind words for either of them. I have a feeling America is in for some tough times ahead.

Jim seems to be more dramatic this year compared to years past. Is Jim getting agitated or something?

Yeah he does seem a little more angry reporting tonight. Maybe he's upset that so many people refused to leave like idiots or he's just tired of that stupid earpiece giving him problems.

Well he is the guy always sent out for these storms. It might be getting old for him

Hey gang, thanks for the positive notes. This will eventually be for a college project.

And yes, it is real time, using the RSS feed from the NWS.

I need some help from you guys now, though.

In the icons on TWC's website, can someone list for me, in numerical order, which icon goes with which description?
Does anyone know where I can get forecasts in a readily readable format (preferably RSS)?

An updated look should come soon. I might also put up a 3000 version (that was the intent first, before Martin got a hold of these files).

As a matter of fact, an updated version is now up.

Looks great!

It really bothers you that much Chris? I would rather have someone steal my videos then stick "Martin" all over them and ruin them. I mean the content is not not your content and it is against the rules to post copyrighted material (like a song) on YouTube anyway. So I would not fret over such little things.
