AN AREA OF DISTURBED WEATHER IS LOCATED OVER THE EASTERN ATLANTIC
OCEAN ABOUT 600 MILES SOUTHWEST OF THE CAPE VERDE ISLANDS. SOME
SLOW DEVELOPMENT OF THIS DISTURBANCE IS POSSIBLE DURING THE NEXT
COUPLE OF DAYS AS IT DRIFTS TOWARD THE WEST OR WEST-NORTHWEST.
THERE IS A LOW CHANCE...20 PERCENT...OF THIS SYSTEM BECOMING A
TROPICAL CYCLONE DURING THE NEXT 48 HOURS.

Can someone post a picture please? Until tomorrow, I'm not able to view Weatherscan until I get a new cable box since my HDTV is on the fritz.

OCMs & Personalities / Re: Apparently...a former OCM has stayed in Atlanta

« on: July 29, 2010, 04:13:14 PM »

Wow, I can't believe it she applies at the one Atlanta news network I never watch and it's not because they are a NBC network, I just don't like their format. I'll have to try to catch her on air. Congrats to her nonetheless, I know it must to have been hard for her the past 2 years. I might start watching just to see her again.

EDIT: Here's a link to her bio on WXIA-TV (11Alive) website, picture is N/A

OCMs & Personalities / Re: New OCM- Bryan Norcross

« on: July 29, 2010, 04:09:23 PM »

Is this the same Bryan Norcross who did nonstop hurricane weather coverage of Hurricane Andrew from his station's studio basement? If so I think he would make a great addition to TWC as a hurricane specialist.

Well, they just fired Keneely this week, so no one there seems safe!
I won't believe that one bit until I see an article from someone that actually got the info from TWC. He did used to work for WTVT in Tampa in 1982 up until TWC's launching.

It wouldn't surprise me, he's been getting less airtime for a while now.

I heard "You're The Star" by Network Music on an ad that played on TWC yesterday, I don't remember what the product was though.

Just imagine if this depression was forming an eye right now, this would look scary.

This thing is really getting it's act together, I don't understand why they are stalling on naming this a depression at least.

WeatherSTAR JR Emulation - Adobe Premiere Pro CS3 Project UPDATE - M FLAVOR

I chose to use Mattoon, IL where my fellow Youtuber friend claytonleffler lives since he's dealing with excessive heat and soon severe thunderstorms while I was putting this together. All weather data was accurate at the time this was made. The Travel Cities Forecast is a work in progress, but I threw it in so you could get an idea of where I am with it right now.

Updates:
Font size shrunk from 32pt to 30pt.
Accurate data
Other segments completed (except Travel Cities Forecast)

LOL at Carl. Just a few minutes ago on Day Planner when he was talking about dew points, he said something like: "When the dew point reaches the 70s, that ain't good, dog." Carl is such a good OCM!

BTW, is Kelly always on DP, or is she substituting for someone today?
