The Alert Mode music was very haunting, and that is exactly why I liked it so much. It meant even more to me when it came during PDII, since I love big winter storms.
Before NBC got the Weather Channel, they didnt talk bout so called global warming as much as they do now. NBC love glabal warming, climate change or whatever its being called now... I lived through Lili in New Iberia.

Back before NBC ruined the Weather Channel, nostalgic. Lili was a dodged bullet.

There is a new website dedicated to returning Dave to the Weather Channel, with feedback links for execs at NBC/Universal and The Weather Channel:

If I first saw this in 2002, the gloomy music would make me shit bricks, but now it is pleasant. Pre-2005 Storm Alert for life!

Alert mode...when did they change to Storm Alert?
yourweathertodayHD 3 years ago
They sometimes call it "Storm Alert Mode" as well, but Alert Mode was changed to Storm Alert in 2003.

I remember when they went into Storm Alert in 2004, some of the OCM's still mistakenly called it Alert Mode.
