Looks like my thoughts from a few hours ago may have been terribly premature. It didn't look like much was going to happen, but that's certainly changing. Little Rock, AR is under a tornado warning right now as I type this.

The new graphics were unveiled today during the noon newscast. I had recording problems so I wasn't able to capture the opening of the show, (I'll try to do that during the 6pm newscast today) but I was able to capture the new lower display line along with the new weather graphics/icons they're using. I think it looks really great! :yes:

WXIA-TV's (11Alive) New Look - January 29, 2013 (Noon Broadcast)
WTSP (also owned by Gannett) debuted those graphics over a month ago


I figured other Gannett stations were likely getting these graphics. Out of curiosity, did WSTP also renovate or get a new studio? WXIA debuts their new set sometime in February, they're in a temporary set in the video.

Moderate Risk initiated for Tuesday



Code: [Select]
SPC AC 281730
   
   DAY 2 CONVECTIVE OUTLOOK 
   NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK
   1130 AM CST MON JAN 28 2013
   
   VALID 291200Z - 301200Z
   
   ...THERE IS A MDT RISK OF SVR TSTMS FROM NRN LA...CNTRL AND ERN
   AR...EXTREME SWRN TN AND NWRN TO WCNTRL MS...
   
   ...THERE IS A SLGT RISK OF SVR TSTMS OVER A PORTION OF THE SRN
   PLAINS...LOWER THROUGH MID MS VALLEY INTO WRN PARTS OF THE TN AND OH
   VALLEYS...
   
   ...SYNOPSIS...
   
   THE HIGH AMPLITUDE UPPER TROUGH NOW OVER THE WRN U.S. WILL ADVANCE
   EWD...WITH MODEL CONSENSUS INDICATING THAT THE TROUGH AXIS WILL BE
   LOCATED FROM MN THROUGH CNTRL/ERN TX BY THE END OF THIS PERIOD. MID
   LEVEL JET AND ATTENDANT VORT MAX LOCATED WITHIN BASE OF THE TROUGH
   SHOULD EJECT FROM THE SRN PLAINS THROUGH THE LOWER-MID MS VALLEY
   TUESDAY NIGHT. AS THIS OCCURS A CYCLONE WILL DEEPEN AND LIFT NEWD
   THROUGH THE MID MS VALLEY REGION. A POLAR FRONT WILL EXTEND FROM THE
   SFC LOW OVER IA SWWD INTO CNTRL/SRN HIGH PLAINS EARLY TUESDAY...WITH
   A PACIFIC FRONT/DRYLINE EXTENDING SWD THROUGH WRN TX. POLAR FRONT
   WILL ADVANCE SEWD DURING THE DAY...WHILE THE PACIFIC FRONT SURGES
   EWD AND MERGES WITH DRYLINE...CONTINUING THROUGH THE LOWER MS VALLEY
   OVERNIGHT.
   
   ...SRN PLAINS THROUGH LOWER MS VALLEY REGION...
   
   POTENTIAL EXISTS FOR A SIGNIFICANT SEVERE WEATHER EVENT TUESDAY WITH
   DAMAGING WIND AND TORNADOES THE PRIMARY THREATS...ESPECIALLY DURING
   THE EVENING AND OVERNIGHT IN MODERATE RISK AREA. OBSERVATIONS SHOW A
   RESERVOIR OF MIDDLE TO UPPER 60S DEWPOINTS FROM CNTRL INTO SRN TX.
   SLY BOUNDARY LAYER FLOW ALREADY EXISTS FROM THE SRN PLAINS INTO THE
   LOWER MS VALLEY AND WILL STRENGTHEN TUESDAY IN ASSOCIATION WITH AN
   INTENSIFYING LLJ. WIDESPREAD MULTI-LAYER CLOUDS WILL LIMIT BOUNDARY
   LAYER WARMING DURING THE DAY. HOWEVER...MID 60S DEWPOINTS SHOULD
   ADVECT AS FAR NORTH AS SERN OK INTO CNTRL AR AND NRN MS BENEATH A
   PLUME OF 6.5 C/KM MID LEVEL LAPSE RATES RESULTING IN AT LEAST
   500-1000 J/KG MLCAPE.
   
   STORMS ARE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP WITHIN PRE-FRONTAL CONFLUENCE BAND
   ACROSS CNTRL/ERN OK INTO NCNTRL/NERN TX EARLY TUESDAY AND SHIFT EWD
   AND NEWD DURING THE DAY. OTHER STORMS MAY DEVELOP FARTHER SOUTH
   THROUGH ERN TX DURING THE AFTERNOON ALONG MERGING PACIFIC FRONT AND
   SHIFT EWD THROUGH THE LOWER MS VALLEY. THE BOUNDARY LAYER WILL
   MOISTEN SUFFICIENTLY FOR THIS ACTIVITY TO BECOME SFC BASED. STORMS
   WILL BE EMBEDDED WITHIN STRONG DEEP LAYER FLOW WITH A 50+ KT SLY LLJ
   AND MID LEVEL WINDS INCREASING TO 80 KT. STORMS ARE EXPECTED TO
   EVOLVE INTO A PREDOMINANT QLCS WITH EMBEDDED SUPERCELL AND BOWING
   SEGMENTS POSING A RISK FOR DAMAGING WIND AND TORNADOES. TORNADO
   THREAT MAY INCREASE OVERNIGHT...ESPECIALLY IN MODERATE RISK AREA
   WHERE LLJ INTENSIFYING TO IN EXCESS OF 70 KT WILL BE COLLOCATED WITH
   NRN EDGE OF MID 60S DEWPOINTS.
   
   ...UPPER MS VALLEY THROUGH TN VALLEY REGION...
   
   OTHER STORMS WILL EXPAND NEWD THROUGH THE MID MS VALLEY AND SWRN
   PARTS OF OH VALLEY WHERE INSTABILITY WILL BE MORE LIMITED...BUT
   SUFFICIENT FOR A THREAT FOR DAMAGING WIND WITH PRIMARY MODE BEING
   LINES AND BOWING SEGMENTS WITH MESO VORTICES. A FEW EMBEDDED
   SUPERCELLS WILL ALSO BE POSSIBLE GIVEN SIZE OF HODOGRAPHS AND
   STRENGTH OF DEEP LAYER FLOW/SHEAR SUGGESTING A FEW TORNADOES CANNOT
   BE RULED OUT.

I only see one of two (maybe both of the two) scenarios playing out for my area. Were gonna get E or ENE winds from the Atlantic ahead of the squall line, keeping us cool and stabilized to kill it off or some junk convection will develop in front of it preventing us from maxing out on diurnal heating and it'll weaken. It never fails. The only winter month that seems to materialize anything of significance is February (ironically the same month GA preps for Severe Weather Awareness Week). The nastiest one of the past 5 years was February 18, 2009. I don't recall The Super Tuesday 2008 Tornado Outbreak being too bad once it progressed our way. :no: I remember AR/TN getting slammed the hardest that day though.

I think this song played before, but I'm not too sure. I would like to hear "18" by Moby. Even with the drastic music changes last year, they did still show some love to Moby so I can't see why they wouldn't play this one.

Remarkable that it's almost been 2 years, even with the lull of activity in 2012 it doesn't seem like that much time has transpired.  :no:

Trevor, I knew she worked there a few years before moving here (I also saw a few YT videos of her from that same station a few years back) and started working at WAGA-TV in the late 1980s to the mid 1990s, at that time WAGA was a CBS affiliate, but in Dec. 1994 they switched affiliations with FOX who they are still with today. She left that station about 2 years after for WXIA-TV where she has been ever since.

Our NBC affiliate is getting a major overhaul in a new set (they donated their old set to a local high school for their journalism program) graphics packages, music, and apparently a new weather video wall. The chief met Mike Francis posted this picture of him standing n front of it on FB.

Something else I think will be an interesting concept is their lower thirds/news ticker will display more detailed information on each news story they are covering and will be color coded similar to USAToday, one of the partners they're affiliated with.

Here's a short video explaining this change by Brenda Wood
http://www.11alive.com/news/article/274112/318/A-new-look-for-11Alive

The changes are supposed to occur in February, I'm assuming February 5th because I heard this morning it's supposed to be on a Tuesday during the noon broadcast and they have been vaguely advertising February as the month that it would take place.

Well I hate to admit it, but...TWC was right about today's wintry event or lack thereof. It was an absolutely EPIC FAIL, twice within a one week time-span a wintry event never materialized.  :( However, I'm ok with this one busting since it was an ice situation unlike the one last week which was a rain to snow scenario, but still it's somewhat disappointing to keep getting the screw job. I was hoping to at least see a few sleet pellets if nothing else. Maybe third time's the charm I guess.

Currently: 42 degrees w/ Cloudy skies.
NW and NE winds shifting to the SE and ESE gradually began eroding our cold wedge in the metro area, shooting us from the low 30s this morning to the mid 40s earlier this late afternoon.

Nice job Tavores! Looking great with the graphics.  :thumbsup:

Thanks, I tweaked it just a little bit more today, giving it a winter theme. :)
