WeatherStar XL V2 Emulation with Errors!

8 years ago in April 2002 TWC began departing ways with the NWS for local forecasts and began making their own home bred forecasts. Because of that, I removed the NOAA logo and the NWS text from the 36 hr forecast screen and the Current Condition narration is still being pulled from the airport obs. instead of the downtown area obs. There are also some more errors; can you spot them all out?

Also I can't take any credit for the animated Isolated Thunderstorm icon that was made by Martin I just wanted to see if it would lag under the recording program I used to record this emulation.

I would have to disagree with alot of the sentiment you've mentioned about the hot weather, Tavores. A couple of factors are combining here. Let's not forget the summer of 2007, which was rather warm. I know I hit 96 during July that summer. So there's not only that correlation, but we have much more sunspot activity than we did in 2007. Plus, remember, there was some widespread hot weather last summer.

As for the hurricane season, we are coming out of an El Nino and transitioning into a La Nina pattern, so I would say that activity will increase over last year (granted, not dramatically, but case and point). The tracks and non-conducive conditions are nearly unpredictable, imo.

Like I said, I think there will be warm/hot spells, but I don't think they will be long lasting over my region. The areas I believe will get blasted with heat will be in what is "Tornado Alley" over the Plains region 95° and above over a span of a few weeks. Eventhough this was a pretty decent El Nino even we have been in, it's also been unusual compared to others including the analog El Nino year of 2006-07'. That's why I don't want to compare what happened after that El Nino to what will happen after this one. Although, you could be right when it comes to sunspot activity. If it does continue to increase during the summer, this summer may be similar to how the Summer of 2007 was, but right now I just don't think it will be.

I forgot to mention that I think this hurricane season will be similar to 2004, a slow start like in late July/Early August, but I think US landfall tracks will favor the EC instead of the GOM.

On a somewhat related note... anyone else confused if it's Friday or Saturday? I have had to remind myself at least 20 times today that it was Friday.

I thought yesterday was Friday and today well....Friday.  :P I guess I been ready for my Spring break to start now.

Hey, join the club! But wow, that's a landslide record :blink:

 In retrospect, I would think it could display a record high set for today, and another possible one for tomorrow.

I don't follow you exactly. I think its probably limited to 1 screen

Well, I was sort of using the same analogy that comes with the weather bulletins... have more than 3, and it uses a second page. Wouldn't it be possible, if the Intellistar showed a record that was set today, but also had to show one that was in store for the following day?


I don't think so because when I set those record lows back to back during late July last year it didn't do that it just showed the one expected for the first day then when the next day got here it showed that one.

While I know some of you like seeing traffic on the LF, I personally don't think it belongs there.  Now that the traffic coverage is temporarily gone, you're seeing how much time is freed up for more weather products that I believe should be shown more often.

I never liked having traffic products on my IntelliStar  :no: I'm glad it's gone for now.

I really wish they would just expand the LDL all the way over to the other side so they don't have to worry about that happening so much.
