Local 7 to debut new weather system on Sept. 1

UPDATE, 3:05 p.m.:  A promo for the new weather system is scheduled to begin running tonight.  Watch for it! The weather is changing at Local 7 WTVW.

Drew Gardner, the station's weekend forecaster, tweeted earlier this afternoon that they are training on a new weather system, which is set to make its debut on Sept. 1.

No word yet on what the new system is like or where it's from, but my prediction is that it will be a vast improvement over the AccuWeather system now in use at the station, which is not as advanced as those at 14WFIE and NEWS 25.

I'll bring you more details as soon as I have 'em!
