WUWA is in a different studio this morning, NBC Nightly New's studio that is.

Hurricane Central / Re: Hurricane Isaac

The storm is at 45MPH sustained this morning. I agree with Tavores, this is way too much shifting they're doing, but each time the models are. Still, the track is generally towards Florida and Cuba. Whether or not it goes up the East or West coast of Florida, we need to think about what we'd (People living there, not all of us) do in the event that it does. Generally the median of the models are centered over Florida, although GFS has shifted this latest run. Even though this might sound idiotic, we should probably hope it does go over or towards  the East coast. If it goes into the Gulf there will be some serious trouble given the SST's out there. Some of you have already said that much though. I'm wondering if the trof that will be left over the eastern half of the US will pick the system up if it's still in place as in the upper-levels it likely will be.

Edit: If anything in here didn't make sense, blame it on the 'Case-of-the-Morning'.

I'm impressed with the number of new studio area's and shots they have at their resources. The DMC with the chair's seem a bit too open on camera, maybe add a low 'Coffee-Table' type thing there would make it look a little less awkward on camera. The color's remind me of the original HD studio, which I loved and I'm glad they're bringing back more color. For a while it seemed like they dimmed the panel's down where the color was a bit more dull on the wall. Hopefully they'll turn the studio lights red again sometime soon, I really liked when they did that in the past (During Storm Alert).

As for WUWA, I hope they get a new studio soon (I've seen somewhere that they were supposed to be working on it now, not sure if that's true). It's getting a bit awkward with the cramped space and how you see the lights and ceiling when they show a wide shot, that annoys me.

I agree with you on that, Tavores! This reminds me of Irene so much in terms of track and timing. It would be very interesting to have a tropical system move up this way, but we don't need a hurricane again on the East Coast. Euro Model takes the system south of Cuba and into the GOM. The 110mph/Cat 2 is what is a bit concerning about the forecast combined with the track. Stephanie is going down to Miami area to report on the 20th Ann. of Hurricane Andrew and she said this morning that if we have Issac, she is already in place to report on it. Lot of things to think about this morning, but we have some time to get the details in. We may have Issac by this afternoon or possible later this morning. TWC's morning teams seem to be focusing on the worst scenario's.

Hurricane Central / Hurricane Isaac

We have TD 9 as of this morning. NHC expects the storm to become a Hurricane and to track towards the Caribbean and then towards SE Florida. GFS indicates the storm may track up the East Coast.

Spending a short amount of time looking over models tonight. Noticing that the Invest 94L appears to track near the East coast of the US, but it's way too early to tell right now. However, if this track did play out, wouldn't be so good for some of us.

Well, today is my last day of Summer. In 6 hours and about 55 minutes it will be Monday and Summer vacation is a thing of the past. I'm not ready to go back completely, but being mentally engaged is better than just sitting at home doing nothing I guess. Classes look to be pretty good and I wish anyone who is going back tomorrow good luck!

Sitting at home doing nothing is awesome Good luck with your first day back Hope you have a great time

Thanks, Martin! It went very well!
