Weather Center Live: Severe Weather Mode Opener

[jrhtwc]

red mode looks great, except for the blue background on the L bar.. I thought in the previews it was supposed to turn black/gray. would look a lot better. maybe It'll change during the day once they get into breaking weather mode.

In the preview videos, didn't the L Bar and the LDL look transparent? I haven't seen that since the relaunch during live programing, so maybe that wasn't the best look.

Would someone report if the 11AM ET/10 AM CT WCL turns out to be an extended edition? Thanks.

Getting a chance to check out clips of the new IS2 LOT8's,
framing the new IS2 local forecast for 4:3 is a step backwards when the finally frame their video and maps for 16:9.
Unless this is just the initial version and a change to full frame is going to happen.

For those wondering, while the studio is already in red mode the national LDL and the wing on the right are still regular colors.

TWC is not going to be live all day as they are already promoting Prospectors for 9pm ET.

The Transparent LDL is only during longform for when video is full screen for those who have the IS2.
Because they made it transparent they can't show the LDL on the national feed during longform.

They just announced all day coverage a few minutes ago.

Sounds like Prospect and Freaks is a maybe for tonight if there's not severe weather.

The Weather Alert screen is working on my forecast now, and the alert also shows up on the LDL. You can see both in the video below:

Just seems odd they were promoting Prospectors for 9pm on the 7am hour of WCL.
Why bother promoting the show if you are doing severe storm coverage all day?
The only other answer is they go to the dual feed at 9pm and only the areas with severe weather are getting live coverage.

Weather Alert worked this morning

"Dr. Greg Forbes
38 minutes ago
TORNADO OUTBREAK TODAY. I am raising TORCON to 9 for central and east two-thirds of IL, and for IN. TORCON 7 for west OH. TORCON 6 for south MI. TORCON 5 for southeast WI. TORCON 6 for west and north KY. TORCON 4 for east OH. Severe storms and a chance of a tornado in central MI, west IL, east MO, east AR, rest of KY, TN, north AL, north and central MS, northeast LA. TORCON 3 to 4 in these areas. Damaging winds continue across NY, WV, PA, MD overnight."

From the Torcon I'm guessing we might get live coverage 9pm though they are still promoting taped shows for 9pm and 10pm ET. 

The HD LDL and Wing have not gone into storm mode yet.

Here's the red storm version of the WCL intro,

I would like to say, the WCL Intro in Storm Alert Mode is awesome. I really love it.

For those wondering about the OCM setup for weekends.
4:30am-7am they are only using one OCM though they use 2 on weekdays. 
Ray Stagich was on Saturday. Mark Thibodeau was on Sunday.
Jen Carfagno and Alex Wallace were on 7am-11am.
Julie Martin and Keith Carson are on 11am-2pm.

The severe storm coverage going on now is another reason why TWC should get rid of the jokes when the local forecast starts. Especially in the areas with tornadoes active.

Has the Breaking Weather Alert System (BREWS) graphic been shown on screen since the graphics update?

[Metarvo]

That red mode looks quite nice indeed, and it gets the point across.

Do you know where I can get these icons? I love them! Would be great if they were animated
