If a system is not going to threaten any of his clients, usually see alot more posts from him about why it will recurve and not impact anybody.
Uh....no he said he was going to bed. Where do you come up with these statements?

Hurricane center closely watching tropical wave
BY CURTIS MORGAN
cmorgan@MiamiHerald.com
A large, well-organized tropical wave that appears likely to become the season's fifth tropical storm, Erika, continued to move toward the Windward Islands on Monday.
Forecasters put the odds of the wave strengthening into a tropical depression in the next few days at better than 50 percent.
``Right now, it looks really impressive on satellite images,'' said Dennis Feltgen, a spokesman for the National Hurricane Center in Miami. ``We've had some flare ups of showers and thunderstorms today.''
At 2 p.m., the center was tracking the storm moving west-northwest at 15 mph about 500 miles east of the chain of Caribbean islands that make up the Windwards. The path immediately ahead was only ``marginally favorable'' for development for the next day or so -- in part because of a low pressure system off the Bahamas that is producing some wind shear.
Computer models vary widely on the system's projected path, Feltgen said, and it was too far away to predict whether it would pose a threat to Florida or the East Coast.
``We're going to be watching this thing closely,'' he said.

The lack of posters from the Gulf Coast must mean the same thing.

As long as I don't post, it won't come here. That's my scientific reasoning at least
Not liking the trend in the models- even though they are early, they keep pushing West.
...uh we hope

They are drawing attention to it so that we know about it BEFORE the long holiday weekend so it hopefully doesn't catch anyone off guard. Nobody is paying much attention yet. They should. This could be a big one...it only takes 1 to make a season memorable. 1992???
(certainly not saying it is coming to my area! -but a cross state journey is not out of the realm of possibility)
Put that and the GFS on a map and throw darts. You'd probably get a more accurate track than what these two pieces of junk have been putting out lately.
