How's everyone doing this Labor Day weekend?  Hope all of you had a great summer vacation and have a great start to college or school.

Not very well I'm afraid, I'm trying to get over a cold at the moment. 

You too? I'm not alone! I got a cold on Friday, now all thats left is a little congestion and a scratchy throat.

Yeah, my scratchy throat is clearing up, but my runny, stuffy nose will not go away.

That radar came from a weather website called myforecast.com, but Iusually used intellicast's radars now. I just needed a radar to put in that space.

I wish they could find a way to fix that because I find it annoying for it to happen so often like it does.

My Version of the HD IntelliStar - Phase 1 Animation Transition Test Run (HD Quality) - SOME ANIMATION IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE AFTER THIS TEST RUN.


NOTE - I had to change the titlebar also because it didn't match well with the other graphics.
Available weather data was accurate during the process of this video being rendered in After Effects.

Local Observations

While working on this, I decided that an LDL wasn't necessary to have so I changed it to a bar for the ad/watches/warnings crawl.

WEATHERSCAN HD EMULATION - UPDATED WITH SOME CHANGES!

Titlebar was made by Donovan Gatlin

It looks so cool!

Thanks! 

Now that we know what the HD IntelliStar looks like, I decided to revamp my version of it. I like it, but I think the L Bar really clutters the screen and isn't needed, that's why my version doesn't have one because I think "Simpler Is Better."  But I am having a dilemma, I'm not sure which titlebar works better and if it should be faded or not. 

A. Generic


B. Generic Faded


C. Blue


D. Blue Faded

I think you should use Blue Faded. It just looks better.

Thank You for the feedback, I was torn between choice A B and D as which one  I liked more.

This is something I find weird, we might be breaking record lows tonight and Sunday night with lows in the mid to upper 50's (which is very early this year, this is a pretty powerful cold front  ) Anyway the record low screen isn't showing up on my IntelliStar yet and even the NWS is forecasting colder with a low of 54 for tonight and tomorrow night, but they aren't mentioning it in their forecast discussion.

It simply ran into an environment where there was too much dry air or shear to cause all the convection to fizzle out.  Now, it's in a better environment to develop, and it may indeed regain its status soon.

It's starting to remind me of Mini-Sized Tropical Storm Marco

MARCO!


POLO!

CODE RED - 60%

1. SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS HAVE INCREASED IN ASSOCIATION WITH THE
REMNANT LOW OF GASTON...WHICH IS LOCATED ABOUT HALFWAY BETWEEN THE
CAPE VERDE ISLANDS AND THE LESSER ANTILLES.  ENVIRONMENTAL
CONDITIONS ARE CONDUCIVE FOR GRADUAL DEVELOPMENT...AND A TROPICAL
DEPRESSION COULD RE-FORM DURING THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS AS THE
SYSTEM MOVES WESTWARD AT AROUND 10 MPH.  THERE IS A HIGH CHANCE
...60 PERCENT...OF THIS SYSTEM BECOMING A TROPICAL CYCLONE AGAIN
DURING THE NEXT 48 HOURS.
