Within the past few minutes the NHC upgraded Hermine from a tropical storm to a 75mph Category One hurricane.
It should be making landfall on the FL panhandle within the next several hours.

These next few weeks are going to take us into the peak of hurricane season and tropics as of this moment aren't failing to disappoint. We have two areas of interest, not including TD Fiona.

We have Invest 99L and recently within the hour Tropical Depression 7 (which is expected to become Gaston).

Invest 99L is expected to strengthen and possibly be named Hermine.

Here's the current model(s) track for Invest 99L ("Hermine") This storm is most likely to affect the US by next week as of right now.

This was a concept made for the Accuweather Channel from Hothaus Creative. I think the overall look of this could work for TWC too though. Especially 0:05-0:10, that could easily be a redesign concept of the Localonthe8s.

Well do you have the New Nintendo 3ds xl or just the xl , I really like the white New 3ds I almost bought it with Animal Crossing Happy Home designer back in October last year, but saw the poor reviews of Happy Home and opted out. But I really like the Mario themed Plates and the New selects line. Plus I really like the multicolored buttons and c-stick added back in. 

Black New 3DS XL, the white just stands out more which makes it look nicer that's all. I think Japan already had that smaller white New 3DS XL version for a while now.

Also I'm tempted to get that Captain Toad + Amiibo bundle. Not sure if the game is all that good or not, I mainly want it for the Toad Amiibo (for collection purposes).

This sounds like a TWC song that I have heard before. I heard this play on the City of Tampa Channel on Saturday morning.

The song is "Samba Del Luna" by Craig Chaquico & Russ Freeman from the album, "From the Redwoods to the Rockies",but I'm not sure if it played on TWC or not. I also feel like it has though, other songs from that album were featured on the August 2002 playlist.

EDIT: It was used on the July 2002 playlist.

I'm glad I decided to wait on getting Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon after hearing this today....
http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2016/08/nintendo_of_america_expands_nintendo_selects_range_and_unveils_small_new_3ds_bundle

If only my gut feeling had of told me to wait a year longer on the 3DS, I could have saved 50 bucks.
Seriously though, I really like the white version w/ the face plates even though it's a smaller version of the black one I have.

I knew that name sounded familiar, I remember when she used to work at our local NBC/FOX affiliates back in the late 90s/early 2000's when I was a little kid.

Was, Urban Wanderer and Faith, by The Rippingtons from Brave New World used?  If so, what others?  I know Brave New World was.

Urban Wanderer was used on the April 2004 playlist.

Faith was used on the August 2004 playlist iirc.

Your artwork overall is fantastic! I really like the remakes of the banners from 2004, about as close to perfection as you can get.
