Would this be called a gramatical error or a misplaced cyclone name.

If you look at the image, Nate is labeled as "Maria" and Maria is labeled as "Nate". Just a minor error!!

Also... the caption at the top of the image has 16L's movement as "statinoary." Is that some sort of new Spanglish word that I'm not aware of?

"statinoary:" Slow or no movement at all and you are in a hurry to type it.

:lol: Hey, at least they labeled the states correctly! Used to look at pics of fires in NW and regularly find Montana in Idaho, etc. I understand these pics are outsourced to a graphics firm. They may not be either geography or weather savvy, but sure are very good at digital production! I look at them almost every day.

For some reason that reminds me of forecasting school. Some folks in our class weren't up to speed on American geography. It was a laugh-riot during briefings. They'd point to Missouri and call it Colorado... :lol:

While we're at it, why not point out every little mistake they made? :D

They left out a period at the end

May sound insignificant, but my 8th grade grammar teacher would totally freak out over this.

The 2 PM NHC Intermediate Advisory wrote:OPHELIA HAS NEARLY STATIONARY FOR THE PAST THREE HOURS BUT IS
EXPECTED TO DRIFT TOWARD THE NORTHWEST LASTER TODAY.


THE OTHER MODELS KEEP OFELIA LOOPING NEAR THE SOUTHEAST U.S. COAST. THE BEST OPTION IN THESE CASES OF LARGE MODEL DISAGREEMENT IS TO FORECAST LITTLE MOTION.


And an error on the 2 PM advisory on Nate:
ESTIMATED MINIMUM CENTRAL PRESSURE IS 980 MB...29.94 INCHES.
