Wow, I'm surprised to see Marshall and Heather on at this time of day, on a weekend no less.  :blink:

What in the world? :dunno:
It's not all that unusual. They've done the afternoon shift in Storm Alert for past hurricanes. ;)

I'm talking about I've never seen them work on weekends before.

It must've been a good while back because I don't remember.

They did it in 2005 for a few hurricanes. Still, that was because landfall was imminent; I don't think this scenario merits having them on.

If anything, I would have expected them coming on the air this morning instead of in the afternoon, but oh well.

I see back at home in Chicago, there's significant flooding after 7 inches of rain fell due to a stalled out cold front and training storms. It has now become a secondary story on TWC next to Ike; in a way, it's pretty cool seeing my hometown on TWC with all of the red STORM ALERT graphics; indeed, the situation almost merits it. >_<

Here in Bloomington, IL, we're slated to get possibly 6 inches of rain from Ike tomorrow. That's not going to be fun. >_<

Instead of having the precip and temps separate, they present the precip for Sunday, then the temps for Sunday, then the precip for Monday, then the temps for Monday, etc.

Storm Alert is over at 6 PM ET for PM Edition. Carl Parker and Kristina Abernathy are hosting.
My super-awesome website!
