It is NOT endorsed by any professional institution including storm2k.org For Official Information please refer to the NHC and NWS products.

...because of her slow movement, the forecast positions will continue to remain uncertain. I also believe the trough will kick her out quicker. Because of that, I shifted the track further east.

This was my previous forecast:

Save a blank map to your computer (these are available free via the home page of S2K). Open the map with your favorite image editing program (paint will do if need be). Save the image and upload it by following the instructions on the home page of S2K (look in the lower left column).

As you can see by the improvements of the maps made by Calamity, it's pretty easy to do and you get good at it after a couple tries.

As a side note, all of the graphics found at Skeetobite.com and SkeetobiteWeather.com and in our maps were created with Macromedia Fireworks MX. They have a free trial download available at their site: http://www.macromedia.com that should get you through the remainder of the season. If you like it, you can buy it for next year. We like this program because it is easy to use and affordable. There are much more powerful programs available, but unless you're doing heavy image manipulation or making ads for print media, they just aren't necessary.

I think you are too far east Calamity with the track. The center is still moving south and the movement N you are suggesting that fast would require a fster trough.

So you say the NHC is quite wrong with their track?

Where did I say NHC? I said Calamity's was too far east. Look ath the NHC track and notice how it clips the YUCATAN buddy. :wink:
