It looks like we're going to see some changes in the early morning hours next weekend.Interesting. I just checked it out in zap2it.com. I can't say I've heard of "Sunrise Weather" before. I wonder if it will be a live program? And I wonder how the half-hour blocks of WWCH will work. Half the episode on Saturday, the other half on Sunday?
The most significant change in the addition of a new show called ''Sunrise Weather'' at 4:30AM on Saturdays and Sundays. Does anyone have any info on this show? This is the first I've heard of it.
Also, it looks like half-hour episodes of When Weather Changed History will air at 4AM.
Good job on the banner, Billy!Thanks.
This is probably a stupid thought, but is TWC not in Storm Alert because it's the weekend?Maybe we'll see Storm Alert for YWT tomorrow because it's a major show.
I wonder if Dave and Cheryl will go another hour or if another team will step in at the top of the hour...Dave and Cheryl are still in for the 5 PM ET hour.

Now there's discussion of Gustav possibly opening up, allowing it to weaken further. If this thing doesn't stay a major hurricane, we probably won't see Storm Alert at all.I heard them mentioning that. Is it possible that Gustav is going through an eyewall replacement cycle? I've been watching the visible satellite image of the storm, and it still looks like a rather healthy circulation.
I get the feeling that they've gotten rid of "Storm Alert." Has it even been used since 2006?Correct. It been used since 2006. It was actually last used August 31, 2006. Two years ago today.
