I think it's local, because it hasn't been happening to me lately. Only happens to me during long form.

Hi my name is TJ if you couldn't tell by my username lol, and I've always been interested in weather and TWC!Welcome to the forums!
Glad to be on here!
Also, it's not that noticeable, but transitions between slides is smoother on the IS2 & jr., and when the Unit cues the local, the background and a gray box come up on the IS2 & IS2jr, then the LOT8s logo, while on the IS, the background and LOT8s logo come up then the gray box appearsAlso, the only difference between the IS, IS2HD, and the IS2Jr. is that the IS still has Allen Jackson's voice-over as it was used previously in versions 1-2. Allen Jackson also previously did the narrations on the XL. Jim Cantore does the voice-overs for the IS2HD and the IS2Jr.I think the only noticeable difference is the wasted space on the right during the LF on the IS2. As far as graphics alone, you wouldn't notice
I was wondering if there are any noticeable differences between the IS2 and IS2Jr since the graphics update. From what I can see, I can no longer tell the two apart at all.
Yes, except for the fact that the IS2 Jr. is not HD, there is no difference between the IS2 and IS2 Jr.
However, subtle differences exist between the IS2/IS2 Jr. and IS. These include:
- The IS2 and IS Jr scroll through numbers and letters on the CC and summary page while the IS does not.
- On the radar, the IS shows a time stamp and bar and is able to distinguish between precip types while the IS2 and IS Jr cannot.
- Difference in animation on the Daypart. The IS is smooth while the IS2 and IS2 Jr. are more abrupt.
- Jim Cantore narration on the IS2 and IS2 Jr. and Allen Jackson narration on the IS (mentioned above).
- At the bottom where it shows what segments are coming up and how much time is left on one, a white bar fills a grey bar on the IS2 and IS2 Jr, while on the IS the white bar un-fills the grey bar.
Here's the same report from the last artwork, but on the Junior.
How do they upgrade so quickly?
Here's Another Project I've been working on. I Finished it today! I'm so proud! It's An Emulation of The WeatherStar XL V1 in PowerPoint. All comments are welcome. NOTE: It has MANY Timing issues, I'm going to work on a 2 miute version. Please tell me if you find any errors. WeatherStar XL V1 Emulation - My First Emulation
I like it.

Looks like someone doesn't know how to spell one of the most familiar faces in meteorology...and the most familiar face and meteorologist at TWC. Just goes to show the carelessness TWC has toward its OCM's.I'm pretty sure it was probably a small careless mistake while they were tirelessly making the graphics.
