Due to the potential of a major winter storm this week, I wouldn't be surprised if "Primetime TWC" is pre-empted from Monday-Thursday.

my guess is that TWC will do Prime Time Mon and not the rest of the week to kick it off.  PM Storm Stories might not happen this week.

That makes a lot of sense.  :rolleyes: The only forecasts will be 1 min long and not even on the 8s!  :wacko:

Its official, The Weather Channel now has more long-form programming than live.

Now, every day, you will be hard pressed to get any live weather past 5 pm.  :club:   All you will have is 1 min LFs airing at random times, like :23 or :35 past the hour. TWC didn't seem to get it after the Flick and a Forecast debacle. :thumbdown:  It is deliberately and arrogantly trying to become a mainstream channel. :nono:

Now that the storm is ending, "Primed for Excitement" will most likely premiere tomorrow

I don't know...there is still a lot of aftermath to deal with. I think TWC should continue the extended coverage throughout the week and then start "Primed for Excitement" next week. :yes:

There is also a new storm forming around Texas and the Gulf that will bring snow/ice to some areas far south as this past storm did.

Yeah, more snow to an already iced-out Dallas. <_< Houston is also supposed to get some wintry precip too...not normal for them. :blink:
