they are valid... more valid than our gut feelings or -removed-...
they give us an idea of what the atmoshere may de doing in the
near future... I like them... I anticipte the new ones... I don't make
major decisions at this point... GIVE ME MODELS ! ! !
You're entitled to believe whatever you want, but, no, BAM, LBAR, and NHCA98E are not valid models to use right now, given what those models are, where the "storm" is, and the fact that there isn't even a recon fix on it yet.
they are all we have that are suggestive of what may lay ahead of us
in a few days... that's not my opinion... it's all we (you and I) have.
I'm not suggesting that you create your evacuation plan right away
based on what they are "suggesting"...
They are not all that we have.
It's important to not just know things, but also know when you don't know things. We don't know right now where this storm might go. Some probably have the experience to make a meteorological "informed guess", but I doubt they're looking too hard at these models as they do it. Just because we have a little map with some lines on it doesn't mean anything, if the algorithms used to produce those lines are not relevant in the area where this storm is, and the initial dataset that those algorithms are based upon is not very accurate.
