Her are some of my favorite forecasts. I remember watching this format of the weather channel at my grandma's house back in 1992 or 93. I can remember it at my other grandparent's but that was around 1996 and I think they had a different version.
When we got cable in 2007 they were in a more current version of the forecast.
