Around the 6:20 am weather report, Bill Henley does his exclusive EarthWatch Travel Forecast. It consists of him giving the temperature and condition of several popular cities around the county, and one last town that has a strange name, which changes daily. Henley starts of the travel forecast by saying "Get ready to skip town! Check out these forecasts for major cities around the country." Before the last town is mentioned, he says "And our final major city this morning, the HUGE metropolis of...", while a drum roll is playing in the background to unveil a funny sounding town. One of the daily cities mentioned is Miami, which Henley refers to as Miami Beach, and pronounces it with a hard emphasis on "Beach". It should be noted that only Bill Henley does this Travel Forecast, and it is only shown weekdays at around 6:20 am. When Henley is absent, it is usually not done, unless the substitute is Dave Warren, but Warren does not pronounce Miami Beach with Henley's special emphasis, which even Terry Ruggles imitates at times.
