TWC Local Forecast - July 21, 1990 Weatherstar 3000

They forgot Seattle in the travel cities forecast :(

Interesting fact about the radar: The 3000 simply plugged into a phone line and utilized dial up or a similar tool to pull the image.

@WhelenVTXR2 No It Didn't, an external source was hooked up to the unit via LOC_VIDEO on the back of the unit

This is my all-time favorite piece by The Rippingtons featured on The Weather Channel.

This is a cool song!

San Juan replaced Raliegh/Durham on the TCF.

Song: "Earthbound" by Russ Freeman

@SpongeStorm4000: Russ Freeman & the Rippingtons to be exact. It's from the 1989 album "Tourist in Paradise". I know because I have the album.

@EStar7580 I have it too! Watching TWC in 1991 led me to buying Weekend in Monaco, and now I have everything The Rippingtons (Featuring Russ Freeman) has released!

The banner on the National Radar segment matches the 4000's Current Radar.

Then it must have been on there just a short time.  Maybe only in 1990.

When was San Juan, Puerto Rico added to the list of cities on the TCF scroll?

[aggieman1]

It was on the late '80s and early '90s Travel Cities Forecast. No more, however.

[ILovestorms]

San Juan was not on the TCF scroll in the late 80s. In 1989, the last city on there was San Antonio, Texas.

[SpongeStorm4000]

San Juan was added in 1990 ans removed in 1991.

I've seen a TCF from July of 1989 that included Columbus, OH and Memphis, TN in place of other cities.
