Maybe they've thrown out Storm Alert and they have a new different mode to go into.

They accidentally used Storm Alert graphics from this package in the past, so I'd think it still exists.

I wonder if we'll see Storm Alert at 2 PM ET when Weather Center starts? It would make sense if it started then, because it would be about 24 hours until the forecast landfall (if the storm keeps a steady pace).

It's actually picked up speed, and now it looks like landfall will be mid-morning tomorrow. I don't think anyone expected that.

I was quite disappointed they didn't go into Storm Alert this morning. Oh well maybe later.

I like TWC Today's Storm Alert banner! :biggrin:

Hopefully for Weather Center or PM Edition, we will see Storm Alert. If for some crazy reason it's not today, I would hope YWT would be in full Storm Alert Monday.

Wow, still no Storm Alert. This is starting to get annoying.

And they're still doing Lifestyles segments; how crazy; it's like TWC is slacking on this storm now that it's weakening.

They will go into Storm Alert most likely tonight. It's supposed to reintensify into a Cat 4.

No, because it's something TWC created. It's best to put something our members created on the forums to avoid copyright concerns from TWC.

I get the feeling that they've gotten rid of "Storm Alert."  Has it even been used since 2006?
