Alright, this is what our ticker did on Saturday 7/9 starting at Midnight Saturday. "Local" will be areas like Atchison, Carbondale, Fort Riley, etc. "Regional" will be the ticker that shows cities like Concordia, Falls City, etc.

Midnight(Saturday)-4pm(Saturday): Both local & regional show Saturday night.
4pm(Saturday)-Midnight(Sunday): Local showing Sunday forecast. Regional showing Saturday forecast.

At 12:02am Sunday both local & regional switched over to Sunday nights forecast.

This repeats every day and has been for about a month now. At 4pm it switches the local ticker to the current days forecast until midnight and the regional ticker shows the next days forecast until midnight. At that time they both switch to the next nights forecast. :(

Thanks for helping out on this.

I just wanted to update that this is not just a problem with our Weatherscan here in Topeka. After watching a video in the Hurricane Irene thread from Alex with a montage of their Weatherscan during the storm I noticed theirs does the same. The ticker issue is a problem with more than just Topeka. So this thread can be locked now. Thanks.

Link to video in the thread (it's better than the one I took, thanks (or sorry) Alex):

Thanks to all for the heads up :D. We have determined that the time period is incorrect on the Tab (if Local Forecast locations on the ticker say Sunday, the 2nd set, which tend to be a little farther from the h/e say Saturday, however, the forecast is for the correct time period-Sunday). A ticket has been written for a fix. Be patient, in time this will be resolved. Thanks!
