I guess local TV stations no longer broadcast weather warnings?

Most stations have a computer system that requires manually triggering the mapping or ticker. This is something every weather team has fought against but is a byproduct of the supplier of all the weather systems. Unfortunately until something large happens and nothing is triggered it won't change how said supplier allows these to trigger.

There was hail downriver earlier. Not large but could have been.

The Toledo stations had them. I checked the Detroit stations and didn't see anything either, and I thought that was pretty odd. Were they all asleep?

82⁰ and no clouds in Miami Beach today, 10% chance of a shower overnight. The TV stations nailed it.

Looks more like something a downburst and straight line winds would do. The NWS verdict on it will be interesting.

Just wait until there are a lot of casualties and devastation in the area because they chose not to warn. Would be rather humiliating. What kind of dog and pony show are they running down there in the D? Wasn't Ahmed cutting in programming? He rocked it at 25.

Woe to you, oh earth and sea
For the Devil sends the beast with wrath
Because he knows the time is short
Let him who hath understanding reckon the number of the beast
For it is a human number
Its number is six hundred and sixty-six

CBS had live videos last night and automated warnings on their digital pages this morning. But nothing on the TV. I would assume since they have no weekend staff there was no person in the station.

Hilarious given all the idiotic promos 2, 4 and 7 run touting their weather coverage. These people all suck at doing their job. This problem would never happen in a million years in the West MI market.

The warning bulletin from the NWS even has a "tornado possible" tag. Every single station is missing in action.

Edit:. Channel 7 finally got around to putting the map on its screen, at least 20 minutes after initial warning issuance. They removed it, though, when cutting to commercial. Still nothing from the other stations.
I remember years ago when WFQX in Cadillac used AccuWeather. The station was notorious for being anywhere from 10 - 30 minutes late with the map and weather crawls.

Who was that goofy guy that did the wx updates for AccuWeather?
