Weather You Need to Know

The ACC Basketball Tournament Semi-finals are on right now and WRAL keeps sidelining their broadcast of the Duke-Clemson game because it's raining somewhere. Apparently a weather update crawl across the HD broadcast would be insufficient for WRAL to inform its viewers that there may be golf ball-sized hail somewhere in the viewing area, and they've got to take over the whole screen and put the game in a tiny box you can't even see on the HD feed because they kick the whole feed down to SD resolution. This despite every HD television being capable of handling any of WRALs digital subchannels, including their 24/7 weather channel. So weird...
