	The episode begins with a display of Local 58's early morning weather schedule but cuts to an Emergency Alert System broadcaste issued by the county authorities. The warning states that a [[Moon\|meteorological event]] is occurring, that it will last until "sunrise" and that citizens are advised not to look outside at it with the naked eye. The normal display of the station schedule resumes, beginning to display a show listed as "Blood of The-" but is cut off by another warning, this time upgraded to a Civil Danger Alert. The alert advises residents to stay indoors and not to look at the night sky.

	*The episode reveals that the Local 58 station is broadcast in Mason County.		*Though this is the first episode of the series to be created and released, the Youtube reuploads of the first three episode have a different order. Weather Service was the first to be created, but the third to be uploaded to Youtube. [[You Are On The Fastest Available Route]], conversely, was the third to be created but the first uploaded to Youtube.
	*~~Before~~ the ~~second interrupted weather warning~~, the ~~scheduling for~~ the ~~station begins~~ to ~~display "Blood~~ of the~~-" before cutting off.~~		**This appears to be a deliberate choice, as [[Contingency]] has kept its status as both the second to be created and the second to be reuploaded to Youtube, although no explanation thus far has been given for the order change.
			*This episode reveals that the Local 58 station is broadcast in Mason County, the location for many of Kris Straub's previous works.
