Forecast specifically expects Isabelle to take same track as Fabian. Another fish storm. Fortunately, this time things are clearer. FISH.

rob8303... I hope you are right, but I wouldn't be so sure about it.

Well, Fabian really wasn't a "fish storm" since it greatly impacted Bermuda. Just cuz hurricanes don't hit the US mainland, doesn't mean it's just a "fish storm". It's too early make conclusions on Isabell anyway.

Luis
well, first of all, the main met officer is vey hard to understand..he mumbles his words :P
honestly!
they always are late to issues advisories also. nothing will be mentioned to us until maybe in the papers on Monday. if there is need be for a hurricane watch to be issued , that deciion gets made in Curacao where our federal government sits and they have no idea about what's going on up here.
and they don't work on weekends, I don't think!
the current forecast was posted this morning
it's sort of a typical standard report. It won't be updated until Monday.

To be fair, they do, like other met offices, get their information from NHC , so it's not like we aren't informed.
To offer a detailed regional analysis though would probably not happen.
so keep posting those PR reports for me
