Its a discussion board...we discuss various scenarios...always refer to the nhc for the best track forecast
However......... because this IS a discussion board, one need always "consider the source" as well. Any bobble-head can blurt out an opinion. If you take the time, you'll come to recognize some posters here to be less flippant and a bit more grounded in their analysis.
1. Consider a posters location: is the location dictating the opinion-"-removed-"
2. Number of posts: experience matters in the tropics, its not all about eye candy model runs like the hwrf but those runs can be right, the gulf is very favorable now so the hwrf intensity isn't crazy on 99L. However, a big post count can be from just posting maps, discos, etc so be careful
3. Longevity: length matters, the more rodeos one has seen the more likely they are to know what is really happening and going to happen but its the tropics so rarely is their a sure bet especially with the intensity
4. Post Style: Just because a post has technical terms and the poster seems to be "smarter" than others doesn't mean they are being used correctly in the post or the context is correct, seen many of those posters come and go over the last 17 years on this board.
5. Catch up on the last few hours of posts before starting to reply, you may have missed something important and your question was already answered.
If you don't like the tone of the board or its not interesting, you are free to not view the board. If you really enjoy the board, MAKE A DONATION. Think about the amount of time, entertainment, the knowledge you are getting.
