Looks like Heather got a little confused there at the end of the last segment. She began to call the show Your Weather Today, but "corrected" herself and called it Day Planner.

What in the world?

It's not all that unusual. They've done the afternoon shift in Storm Alert for past hurricanes.

Local Forecast / Re: Question...

Has the IntelliStar ever enabled an ad crawl during national programming, besides the local forecast?

Not normally, but I do recall one time the LF LDL accidentally displayed during national programming (and thus I saw the ad crawl). That was in 2004/2005-ish.

Hmmm...the comment didn't post. Is something wrong with the site?

It takes a while for them to appear (I believe they have to be manually approved).

Carl Parker mentioned about 10 minutes ago for us to blog with him tonight (http://www.weather.com/blog/weather/8_17183.html?from=tv_welc_relatedcontentleft) - and that comments/questions posted may be featured on air tonight. For the heck of it I left a comment there, and I'm very curious to see if it actually does get featured on air tonight.

It seems as of yesterday afternoon (at least), the TWC logo that appeared for 10 seconds at the start of segments (after the LF and commercials) is now appearing for the entire segment, and is also appearing on the timeslots that (for whatever reason) it never appeared before (such the 5 PM CT hour of PME, A&B, and EEWC). For those with the LDL blocking the logo on the regular feed, you can notice this when they go to break, when they take the LDL off a couple of seconds before break, you'll see the logo inserted on the feed.

Well then why did I never saw it in the bottom of the forum in previous versions?

It was never in the bottom of the forum before, but it was still a feature.

That is new. That's part of the SMF 2.0 Beta 4 upgrade

No, it was in previous versions, too.

Gary, did you know that the TWC Today forums can now be seen on mobile phones?:

That's not new.

The reason the theme change was because it was actually part of the SMF 2.0 Beta 4 upgrade. I upgraded my test forum to that today, and I had the same changes. Googling this confirmed that.

There are minor issues here and there, but they'll certainly all be fixed by the time the final release is released.
