They didn't really say anything. Just kinda threw some words together in an incoherent "statement".....

I'm not really sure what they were trying to say, but saying "This isn't 2005" IS legitimate when discussing the chances of an extreme hurricane. Conditions, on the whole, are less favorable this season than last.

Well, I have been a bit too busy with our general thunderstorms and of course the tropics to post here. But, after reading a few posts from the last few hours, I must say that even in most cases this would be WAY to early to even estimate a guess for landfall. In this particular storm scenario, there are, unfortunately several seemingly plausible scenarios regarding the synoptic pattern across the W. Atlantic, W. Caribbean, and GOM. With that said, IMO, it is extremely irresponsible to make a landfall "forecast" or even guess if you are someone who has a concrete background in meteorology. Folks, we are talking about something that would be 7 days away if Florida or even 9 or 10 days away if Texas. Also, keep in mind that in its early stages we will likely see center re-locations and reformations, etc. Thus leading to problems with model initialization.

Making non-professional guesses is fun, I suppose, but I am admittedly surprised with the inferred degree of certainty from some of the other pros here.

Forgive my rant, now back to my other duties here at work.
Nice Post Josh

The only problem is, we're not looking at "conditions as a whole." We're looking at specific conditions for a specific storm. I personally believe this will end up being a major hurricane. I don't know that it will make cat 5, but that's not beyond possibility. It has lots of warm water to work with and other factors could stack up in its favor.

I agree, Josh, but I did want to point out that the Florida Keys are now in the 5 day cone :)

Satellite presentation looks kinda ragged. If this were not already a depression I doubt it would be called one or upgraded from a wave. Going to have to slow down fairly quickly or it has a bad date with shear.

Just for the record. The met aka Linkerweather is one of the most real to life there is. He won't tell you what you want to hear. He will tell you like it is. Thats what I like about Bay News9 No fluff just the facts.

Rocky,
How right you are. I didn't mean to leave out the keys, I was being egocentric and referring to my part of Florida Which I guess at current speed would be day 6 and not 7. TExas day 8 or so. I was trying to make a point not necessarily related to specifics of a forecast.

Rainband and Psychlone thanks for the kind words about BN9.
