My school district is taking a bit of extra precaution and has decided to cancel classes tomorrow.

I also just heard Layla on that Honda commercial... surprisingly, they actually used the piano part and not the vocal part.
Even better than that, I think they used the same cut TWC is always using.

And it's the TWC version too (which is lower-pitched than the original)!!

Does anyone have a recording of it? I cant find it on Youtube at all

Twc showed longform this morning..hurricane hunters and weather classroom until 4:30. Perhaps tonight that'll change though

Those are part of "Weather in the Classroom", so that is likely bound for exemption.

The last time they were like this all 24/7 live was during Ike or Gustav coverage...I'm pretty sure it was Ike back in September 2008

No, there have been times where they were live this year for over 24 hours

Tropical storm watches are in effect for the Bay Area as well.

They are doing something different during live shows. The graphic is above the LDL.

Again, that has nothing to do with the LF

I hope I'm not the only one, but that is really weird and exciting at the same time. Definitely going to make sure to tune in the next few days. It's not odd from a stand point of covering weather, but from a 'political' stand point... It seems a bit awkward.
What do you mean?

I think he's making reference to how Cuba is a Communist country.

As for Tampa, it's fairly normal here at the moment, so I don't see why they would need to send anyone here yet.

TWC has this annoying graphic on screen during taped programming.

When the national LDL came on at 6:18pm for the local forecast it was on top of the graphic.
If the storm is that important then stay live if not the graphic on screen is really unnecessary.

What does that have to do with the LF though?

The XL's text-based forecast is messed up too. It's just giving one-sentence per slide, which is just the forecast sky conditions, nothing else.

Gee, that surely doesn't look vague..

I agree with Tavores' track, except I think that Isaac may take a hard right (due to the RI previously mentioned) and pull a Charley right into Florida, possibly near Tampa (sorry Zach )

Oh no, this is getting me excited!
