Those title bars look exactly the same as the red ones, just in blue.  The blue is definitely a nice color.  Personally, I think red should only be used during a "Breaking News" or "Storm Alert" type of event.  Out of curiosity, have the L3rds changed as well?  Those used to always be red.

The Lower 3rd's have always been red. They should use Blue as well as maybe orange, and yellow to match certain day parts. I also agree that a color other than red should be used. It seems to alarming.

So does anyone have any new information on when TWC is supposed to be launching new GFX?

Are they still using GRAnaylst or have they switched to the new TruVu 3D radar that came out in August?

TWC announced that the new "Weather All The Time" graphics are starting in November.
Apparently the LDL is going to be like ESPN's bottom line where the sports news and scores are always at the bottom of the screen.

That's Great!  :yes:

On TWC's beta.weather.com there's a countdown that says 10 day's til thanksgiving? If that's when the graphics launch that would be November 18th. Ironically that's a Monday and  TWC usally launches new graphics on Monday's. 

EDIT: By the way, where did you see this. I can't find a link to an article about this anywhere  :dunno:

On Thursday Kelly and Paul mentioned that TWC had an event for fans of the network and they got a preview of the new Weather All The Time graphics.

Did anyone happen to catch what the new weather all the time graphics look like? I heard there was an event where fans got to see the new graphics. If you did can you describe it or upload any photos?

weatherfan_2013: I put your new topic as a post in this thread as it was relevant to the discussion here.

I am anxious to see what TWC has in store here, but I wonder if this will also be the demise of the LOT8s as we know it? :thinking:

Given the direction the channel's gone in the past few years, it always concerns me now when I hear of anything new they might be trying.  On the flip side, there gets to be a point where up is the only direction left, so maybe this will be a good change.  To be fair, I haven't seen the new graphics, so I'll have to wait and see if I like them.

The video preview of the new format can be found at weather.com/weatherallthetime
It makes you fill out a survey first, then takes you to a forum and you'll have to register.

Here are some snapshots of the new look:
