Now that Gustav is a major hurricane, post in this thread when TWC will enter full Storm Alert mode. Winner gets a nickle.
I'll say 12PM Sunday, after the eye crosses Cuba.
-
I say 12PM tomorrow too. Seems reasonable. Though I wouldn't be surprised if it happened sooner.
-
Tomorrow 5 pm
-
I'd say whenever it reaches into the Gulf of Mexico, which will likely be early tomorrow.
-
Will they play storm alert music on the lf?
-
I would think so. :yes:
-
I think tomorrow at 12 is reasonable :yes:
I'm interested how TWC will handle Storm Alert this time around.
-
Later today @ 1:45-1:50 PM
-
I'm already in Storm Alert...I've been blasting all three Storm Alert LF themes all day. :P
I think TWC is going to kick it into full Storm Alert on Sunday at 11 AM ET, when Weekend Now starts.
Also, when does everyone think the inset satellite/radar/track will appear? I think we're going to be seeing that very soon, maybe as early as 1 PM ET today.

I agree about the inset sat/rad/track. I'd be very surprised if its not up by 1PM.
-
I doubt it might become a category 4 or 5 by the time it reaches New Orleans.
-
I doubt it might become a category 4 or 5 by the time it reaches New Orleans.
It is likely to become a Category 4 actually. It's got plenty of time over the warm gulf waters to do so. :yes:
-
So Gustav is supposed to DIRECTLY strike New Orleans?
-
So Gustav is supposed to DIRECTLY strike New Orleans?
No.
New Orleans is in the cone of uncertaintly though
-
Yeah it's too early to predict where on the Gulf Coast it will make landfall. It could be in southern Texas or the Florida panhandle.
-
Actually New Orleans is dead center of the cone. :yes:
Also, Gustav is now Cat 4. :yes:
-
Even if it doesn't directly hit NO, the city is still going to see effects from the storm.
Kevin mentioned "as early as tomorrow morning" when the Gulf coast could start seeing some of the first impacts from Gustav. So, it'll be interesting to see when Storm Alert does happen :yes:
-
I do believe this is a complete and utter fail for TWC...there's a cat 4 hurricane buzzsawing right into the gulf, yet we find out what might happen if a cat THREE hit Savanna, GA.
You have GOT to be kidding me.
-
I'm gonna say somewhere in the 11 PM-1 AM range tonight
-
In fact New Orleans (if the NHC track remains) will be in the worst part of the storm. The front right section. Come on TWC! Where is that storm alert music? I think they will start when watches and warnings are issued for the U.S.
-
Storm Alert music @ 4:50 PM ET
-

Yeah, that seems logical (but then again what has TWC done that was logical recently? :P). When the first Tropical Storm or Hurricane Watches are issued along the Gulf coast (meaning conditions will be deteriorating within the next 24-36 hours), I can definitely see Storm Alert following along.
-
They're going to go into Storm Alert with this one, I know
-
Storm Alert music @ 4:50 PM ET
on the lf?
-
Hurricane and Tropical Storm Watches are now in effect for the Gulf Coast.
-
I knew off the bat that this was going to be a major hurricane!!
-
Storm Alert music @ 4:50 PM ET
Did it use the same music that they used in 2006 and 2007?
-
I'm hearing Open Sky by Ryan Farish. :unsure:
EDIT: NVM i thought you meant lf music
-
Storm Alert music @ 4:50 PM ET
Did it use the same music that they used in 2006 and 2007?
There was no Storm Alert music at 4:50 PM ET. Anyone notice that Roland posted at 4:47 PM ET? :rolleyes:
-
No Forecast Earth.
-
This is a dumb question, when and what time will Gustav hit the US coast?
-
This is a dumb question, when and what time will Gustav hit the US coast?
Right now they're saying late Monday/early Tuesday.
-
This is a dumb question, when and what time will Gustav hit the US coast?
We don't know an exact time yet. The NHC's cone has it making a landfall at approximately 2 PM Monday.
-
No Forecast Earth.
Thank god :clap:
-
You got that right because this is more important!!!!
Waaaayy important!!!
-
They will be in their current mode until tomorrow. I think they will go into Alert Mode during Weekend View at 7ET.
-
You know, I was just looking at the NHC's forecast cones, and it seems that TWC's cones for both Gustav and Hanna are really different from what the NHC is forecasting. I wonder why they're seeing things so differently...
-
You got that right because this is more important!!!!
Waaaayy important!!!
They're overhyping this storm like there's no tomorrow.
-
Well, it's good to get the news out early.
-
You got that right because this is more important!!!!
Waaaayy important!!!
They're overhyping this storm like there's no tomorrow.
I don't think they are. What makes you say that :unsure: There are now watches for the US coast, I think that's a sign that it's time to focus more and more on Gustav, especially where the current track is forecasted. :yes:
-
You have a point Kyle. I take back what i said after seeing this image. Tornado watches and heavy rain for the Keys.
-
They overhyped the last few storms but this one deserves it.
-
The podium that they use for the hurricane updates is red! IT'S RED!!! :thrilled:
-
If it's the same one I'm thinking of, it was yellow earlier today.
EDIT: Holy crap, that was some opener they just played.
-
A special Gustav opener just replaced the PME opener for this hour; they're now in the phase that happens *just before* Storm Alert.
-
Hmm...can TWCT issue a "Storm Alert Watch" now? :lol:
-

Yeah, let's do that. :P

Nice artwork Billy! 10/10
-
Wow, they bumped the Lifestyles segment back to :44 this hour; they're going to be really behind now.
-
Does someone here mind posting videos of TWC's very first HD storm alert? I can't wait to see the graphics and hear the music. Is Gustav supposed to be a cat. 4 or 5 when it hits land?
-
Hmm, according to Kristin, they are on "High Alert" at TWC... Is that one step below Storm Alert? :P
-
Kristin: "We're in high alert mode..."
-
LOL, regarding that comment above about TWCT going into Storm Alert...I actually quite like that idea! I wonder if someone here could make a banner that's red or something?
-
Does SMF have a red version of this skin?
-
Does SMF have a red version of this skin?
I'll have a look at that...
-
Yeah, you go do that, okay?
-
I looked and I couldn't find such a theme. :no:
-
Anyone here able to make a SA-themed banner? That would be good enough. The whole darned forum doesn't have to be red! :rofl:

Perfecto! :biggrin:
-
TWCT is now in Storm Alert mode!
And it evidently has a smiley problem again. Damn.
-
Gary, to fix the emoticon problem (again), rename the /forums/Smileys/1/ directory to /forums/Smileys/default/, and all should be fixed. :yes:

I never noticed that shifty smiley with the four heads on it before...

It's gone now. Wasn't supposed to be there. :P

What? :huh:

It was supposed to be the "shifty" smiley, but it got messed up somehow, thus I don't usually include it. But because I had to reset the smiley folder, I forgot to exclude it.

There's also another smiley in Billy's picture that has to go-the SMF devil smiley.

Great banner! :) This is certinanly one hell of a storm and it looks as if it is coming close to brushing up against the borders of being "worst case scenario" here for the state of LA. Any hurricane that puts Houston AND New Orleans under the gun is one that will certinaly raise hell.
My thoughts and prayers go out to the people of coastal TX/LA/MS/AL. God bless you all!
-
Wow, still no Storm Alert even with the start of Weekend View. What's up with that?
(How am I supposed to get any sleep like this?) :(
-
Still no Storm Alert with the start of Weekend Now. Is there ever going to be one? >_<
-
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.
-
Waiting for this banner (or a similar one) to go up on weather.com:
(http://xoap.weather.com/web/common/banners/alerts_tropical.jpg)
-
We can use that banner for the top of this forum
-

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.

Storm alert @ 4:50 PM ET
-
What the heck are you talking about?
-
I get the feeling that they've gotten rid of "Storm Alert." Has it even been used since 2006?
-
Storm alert @ 4:50 PM ET
Umm it's 3 PM :rolleyes:
-
Roland, are you feeling alright? :huh:
season lover, thanks for the compliment. Billy made the banner though, so the compliment should go to him. :cool3:
-
I get the feeling that they've gotten rid of "Storm Alert." Has it even been used since 2006?
Correct. It been used since 2006. It was actually last used August 31, 2006. Two years ago today.
-

Yeah, so my thought is that since they didn't use it for Dolly or Fay, they might have stopped using it altogether.
-
Dolly and Fay technically didn't fit the original Storm Alert criteria of Cat 3 or higher. Surely there must be a reason that these Storm Alert graphics exist for the current package.
-
I wonder if the fact that its Labor Day weekend has something to do with it. The team who deals with the stars might not be in now. I doubt the September playlist will start tommorow.

I am wondering about that too. I'd love to hear September's playlist but IMO i am more eager to hear storm alert music like everyone else.
-
Now there's discussion of Gustav possibly opening up, allowing it to weaken further. If this thing doesn't stay a major hurricane, we probably won't see Storm Alert at all.
-

I heard them mentioning that. Is it possible that Gustav is going through an eyewall replacement cycle? I've been watching the visible satellite image of the storm, and it still looks like a rather healthy circulation.
-
Okay, PM Edition has started, ans still no Storm Alert.
I'm getting tired of waiting... :poke:
-
I don't get this at all; they're still not in Storm Alert. Three years ago, they would have been in Storm Alert by now with all four OCMs reporting from the field by now; yet they're still doing PME with one non-OCM reporter handling a given hour of the show. It's as if TWC is uncharacteristically downplaying the storm.
Even the podium is now back to yellow instead of red; does this mean Storm Alert isn't going to happen?
-
I don't think we are going to get storm!alert. :furious: :furious: :furious: :finger:
I am also very suprised that they haven't done it by now. :wow:
-
Good job on the banner, Billy! :cool3:
This is probably a stupid thought, but is TWC not in Storm Alert because it's the weekend? :unsure: Maybe we'll see Storm Alert for YWT tomorrow because it's a major show.
And, possibly, since TWC has been totally revamped there is no Storm Alert anymore. :(
At least there is a hurricane banner on weather.com. It's rare to see special banners like that on the website.
-

Thanks. :thumbsup:
And my guess as to why we haven't seen any Storm Alert yet is because they simply don't have the needed staff in during this long holiday weekend to pull it off. If we see any Storm Alert it will probably be a watered-down version tomorrow morning. I can't see them doing it any more tonight.
-
Now the podium is red again. O_o
-
u can't email TWC and ask them why they're not in storm alert?
-
1) That would be a really pointless email.
2) It probably wouldn't make Chris Hoitsma happy.
3) It probably wouldn't be answered until Tuesday anyway.
-
Well it's always good to ask anyways
-
I disagree with that.
Anyway, they just pulled out the deployment map to show where all six of their OCMs/reporters are stationed. I wonder if we'll see Storm Alert for EE tonight. (which I won't be home for)
-
Why? They're supposed to be in Storm Alert.
They were in Storm Alert just for a weak Ernesto, yet they aren't in for a very strong Gustav? TWC never ceases to amaze me. :rolleyes:
-
I've heard that Jim Cantore and Jeff Morrow were reporting on NBC Nightly News in another thread, so apparently that is why there are not many reporters stationed live for the Weather Channel; I guess if there is one thing I can unfortunately count on, it's the Weather Channel becoming worse and worse and going more mainstream.
-
Now the podium is back to yellow again, just as it was at this time last hour.
-
I expect that Gustav will make landfall around 1:00 PM tomorrow.
If there's a Storm Alert mode at all, perhaps during Evening Edition West Coast.
-
Kristina said Alexandra Steele and Paul Goodloe were coming on next. Hmm.... :thinking:
-
STORM ALERT!!!
-
It's official. Storm Alert is on at 8 PM EDT!!
EDIT: I don't know whether I should be watching this or NASCAR... :P
-
I knew something was about to happen! :dance:
-
FINALLY! :dance: :dance: :worship:
-
YAY storm alert. :worship: :dance:
-
I don't know whether I should be watching this or NASCAR... :P
I would recommend the first option.
-
Ohh, look at all the red!
(http://billy.mozfaq.org/twc/storm_alert/bettis.jpg)
-
Yeah, that's what I was looking at, too.
-
Never seen the |HD| in the microphone flag before
-
NASCAR is in Fontana; watching that will put you to sleep.
-
I wonder how they're going to handle this. Will they go commercial-free? Will they show one-minute local forecasts at 08, :18, :38, and :48, with two-minute flavors at :28 and :58? Will there be new Storm Alert LF music? It's now 8:08 and there has been no local forecasts yet.

I was just about to post something to this effect... :P

They're been using the HD flags on the mics for about a month or two now.

True, especially after seeing that 300-mile Nationwide snoozefest last night. :P
-
Oh boy commercial
I hopppeee they put on the local forecast and bring back the '05 song :dance:
-
Commercial break at 8:10, then they resumed live coverage at 8:12. No local forecast.
-
Hmmm...no LF. I guess maybe only at :28 and :58, maybe at :18 and :48? (at least for primetime)
-
I really like that Storm Alert lower third. :yes:
-

Woah, they're still showing Danny Lipford lifestyles segments during Storm Alert??! :hmm:
-
DANNY F****** LIPFORD!?
This is STORM ALERT...not HOME IMPROVEMENT ALERT!
EDIT: Oh, that's why. Sponsored segment.
-
Hurray for Storm Alert! :dance: :dance: :dance:
I missed the open, though. :cry: Was the music neat? Does someone mind posting it.
-
No Storm Alert music :(
-
No SA music during the Local. Boooo.
One minute Local to boot.
-
Well, that's kind of dull.
-
I'm currently watching TWC on an online stream, but was that a WWCH LOT8s promo??? :nono: We're in Storm Alert! :censored:
-

Yes. I don't think they've got all the program ads/LF openers configured for Storm Alert just yet.
-

I remember back when they did Storm Alert for Ernesto back in 2006, they still showed Storm Stories and other "normal" LOT8s openers.
-
Anyone up for an unofficial Local Across the 48's at 8:58?
-
8:28 PM ET LF...Still no Storm Alert Music.
-
My radar's out. Rad/Sat is "limited" at best.
JIM: "Head shot, Ortiz.".

Sorry, I guess I'm too impatient.
Storm Alert HD is so neat! I like the opener/music! How long does Storm Alert normally stay?
EDIT: Oh yeah, Stephen, I like your Storm Alert sig!
-

Same. My IS radar was out this last LF.
How long does Storm Alert normally stay?
Normally until the storm makes landfall, or shortly thereafter.
-
ZOMFG the casinos have shut down!
-
For some reason, Adblock on my Firefox browser will not show the banner.
-
If this is Storm Alert mode now (which it now is) and there's no music for it... THEN THIS SUCKS!
Talk about anti-climatic... nothing to emphasize the sense of urgency that we've got a hurricane on our hands here. Sure, I know. It's only music. But it sets the tone on what is to come.
I don't want to jump the gun, but maybe we'll see them step it up come the West Coast edition. The lead-in and lead-out music beds are okay though.
-
Come on TWC, we want out Storm Alert music during local forecasts!
-
:club: Come on TWC. Storm Alert Music. Not that hard to do.

Are you talking about music for the Gustav openers or LF Storm Alert music? :unsure:
Of course I am hoping for Storm Alert music during the LF, but I am slightly disappointed in the music for the openers. It is barely different from the regular opener music for the tropical update. I LOVED the hurricane/music graphics from 2006-2007. There was a definite Storm Alert theme. Just take a look at this YouTube video (courtesy of Tyler).
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CK2PoipmaMg
-
Yep. It made the small tropical system seem large and urgent.
-
I'm a little diappointed in how the Storm Alert Opener is made too, I'm more disappointed that there's no Storm Alert Music! :angry: :thumbdown:
-
Apologies if this has been posted, but apparently the rules for Storm Alert has changed. It now has to be a major (cat 3+) storm and within 15-18hrs of landfall.
-
I WANT STORM ALERT MUSIC ON THE LOCAL FORECAST!!

This hadn't been posted yet (that I've seen). Tehre was a debate about it, but no one had any information like that. :no:

Here's an intro/opener

I HEARD STORM ALERT MUSIC ON THE LF!!!!
-
Finally! Took 'em long enough! :biggrin:
-
OT, season lover I love your SA sig image! :D
Love it while you can, because I'm afraid I may have to ask him to get rid of it. Its an exact copy of TWC's banner. :yes:
-
Are they gonna play the one that sounds like the 2005 SA song on the LF once the storm makes landfall? IIRC they did the panic song before w/e weak TS they went into SA back in 06 made landfall, then did the switch
-
OT, season lover I love your SA sig image! :D
Love it while you can, because I'm afraid I may have to ask him to get rid of it. Its an exact copy of TWC's banner. :yes:
Sorry, I guess that's illegal. :( :doh: Can I give credit to TWC on the sig, or would you rather me remove it right away? It won't be up for long; I'll replace it right when Storm Alert is over. :yes:

I'm waiting to get a second opinion from Stephen or Kyle (or both). I'll let you know via PM when I've made a decision.

I fell asleep and didn't record from 7 AM-10 AM CT. That sucks after trying to keep it up for so long.
-
I'm waiting to get a second opinion from Stephen or Kyle (or both). I'll let you know via PM when I've made a decision.
That isn't TWC's banner. :no: Compare his banner to TWC's at Weather.com, it's not the same.

I heard the '05 theme about 20 minutes ago. Or else it was a very similar remake of it. :huh:

That was the remixed version of the 2005 theme, which was originally used in 2006 and again this year.
-
Did Gustav already make landfall?
-
Yes, a few hours ago.
-
Now the podium is back to yellow again, just as it was at this time last hour.
Where is there a podium in the HD studio? I didn't know it had one. I've only seen one in the old Hurricane Central set in the old studio.
-
It's stationed behind the pillar to the right of the projector wall, and it's where the experts prepare for their segments. On some occasions, they'll drag it out in front of the projector wall for Dr. Forbes, Dr. Lyons, or Nicole Mitchell when they're going to use its built-in telestrator or simply when they want to open certain segments with an OCM and an expert in front of the projector wall.
You can see the podium behind the pillar on the HD feed when they show the shot of the left side of the anchor desk with Kelly and Dr. Forbes.

Gustav Right after Landfall
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KUcU5COICCg&fmt=18

According to Kevin, we remain in Storm Alert with Viv and Nick at the top of the hour.

Looks like the one-minute local forecast flavors are back at :18 and :48.

Do you think they will remain in SA when Gustav weakens to a tropical storm?

No. :no:

Are they still in SA mode?

You mean you can't tell?

I'm surprised Storm Alert has lasted 24+ hours. I figure it would be over by now but hey, at least TWC did go into Storm Alert. :yes:

And at least it was legitimate. :whistling:

The Storm Alert should end tomorrow morning.

BTW, is the NHC gonna retire the name "Gustav" ?

I think they have to add up the damage first and make an estimate cost before that happens.
-
I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that Gustav will not be retired. He was only Cat 2 at landfall, and for the most part damage was relatively minimal.

Looks like Storm Alert has finally ended. Anyone know when? I'd guess it happened at 4 AM ET when First Outlook started.

Who hosted from 12-4 AM? Rich and Sharon?

Yeah, that's right, but the Storm Alert music continued on the LF for another hour until the daytime playlist started. Why has control over the Storm Alert music on the LF gotten so sloppy this time around? Before it used to begin and end at the same time Storm Alert did. (with only minor errors here and there)
-
I think tomorrow at 12 is reasonable :yes:
I'm interested how TWC will handle Storm Alert this time around.
WHOA KYLE! So this where you have been hiding at....I havent talked to you for ages. How are you doing buddy?
