Tropical storm coming

I agree it's a ways out, but Windy accurately predicted the path of TS Alex from the Pacific to the Atlantic.

Never used "windy". But they all use the same model data, just presented differently. SFWMD updates their models more frequently, and I prefer looking at the individual raw model lines rather than a "cone". You can also download auto-updating KML files with the ensembles.

But it's wrong the other 84,598 seconds. Windy was correct for several days, which is a rare feat among the meteorological community.

OK.

it is also a rare feat to predict the correct path of 2 storms.

another thing everyone needs to remember is that the area that is to be effected is the center of the storm, not the outside range, so if the storm goes up or down in that window it changes future forecasting.

as I am not an expert out here, I will leave experting to others.

Did you see the new format the NHC sent out this past storm? it had little colored squares for different hazards?

I will try and find the link to it . . . I got sent it through work, municipality.

I think they've started doing that with regular thunder storms too. It's frustrating, because it's constantly changing.

This is the link - it a quick and easy way for laypersons to see the pretty colors and know when do be worried, and when not to be (only to proceed to ignore the warnings). . .

Also, thanks now I'll never get that laundry done this afternoon . . . shucks.

Agreed. Do you know if it might have a lingering effect on currents?

Not likely.

Is 30 kts that much more than standard wind there?

It is the direction of the wind that is the issue. It will come from the West vs East.
