This can easily be misinterpreted by the lurking financial speculators on this site, and, though some might not believe this, can lead to an increase in the price of gas and oil.
S2K, please monitor these unofficial weather products (or at least put a disclaimer above statement's like Jeff's), since this site is viewed by many hundreds, if not several thousand, viewers each day - including those who lurk here for financial gain only.

Frank:
The quote is clearing attributed to Jeff Masters isn't it?
If it was not identified specifically as being by Jeff Masters it would be plagerizing and "out of bounds" but what is wrong with quoting a "so called expert" from a respected web site?
Jeff Probably uses this site himself!

Yes, I can understand it will have to be worded very carefully. Also there's 93L to update. Maybe won't even mention this new wave. Looks pretty on visible right now.ThunderMate wrote:Figures, they are probably deciding what they are going to say about our wave.

Nothing about it!
TROPICAL WEATHER OUTLOOK
NWS TPC/NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL
1130 AM EDT FRI AUG 18 2006
FOR THE NORTH ATLANTIC...CARIBBEAN SEA AND THE GULF OF MEXICO...
THE AREA OF LOW PRESSURE REMAINS NEAR THE SOUTHEASTERN COAST OF
THE UNITED STATES...CENTERED ABOUT 90 MILES EAST OF JACKSONVILLE
FLORIDA...BUT UPPER-LEVEL WINDS ARE NOT CONDUCIVE FOR TROPICAL
CYCLONE DEVELOPMENT IN THIS AREA. SATELLITE AND RADAR DATA
INDICATE THAT THE SYSTEM CONTINUES TO PRODUCE DISORGANIZED SHOWERS
AND THUNDERSTORMS WITH BRIEF GUSTY WINDS. THIS ACTIVITY COULD
STILL AFFECT COASTAL AREAS OF GEORGIA AND THE NORTHERN FLORIDA
PENINSULA DURING THE NEXT DAY OR TWO AS THE SYSTEM MOVES SLOWLY
SOUTHWESTWARD.
ELSEWHERE...TROPICAL STORM FORMATION IS NOT EXPECTED THROUGH
SATURDAY.

I'm missing something probably from a prior post.
What is the "doomsday scenario" you are referring to?
What I see is this model shows a strong storm passing off the Outer Banks and staying offshore the NE coast.
Like a whole lot of storms before this.
Did I miss something in my looking at the model?
It's called internet weather forum hyperbole.....and believe me this forum has plenty of hyperbole.....doomed, we're all doomed...just kidding

In reference to my comment about Jeff's "discussion" - when I first glanced it, I wondered for a time as to where this "product" came from - was it from a NWS forecaster at SJU, or, was it from a forecaster at NMC?
The way it read (and was bolded) gave me the impression that it was from a NOAA forecaster - an official product in the public domain.
Some may ask "What is the problem with that?", well, some here may know this, some might not, but, this site is peppered with financial speculators, who use the expertise of those, like Jeff (who I respect), to get an "edge" on the oil and gas market, which is highly sensitive at this time to any threat - be it natural or man-made.
That's the problem - S2K needs to place a disclaimer above "products" such as Jeff's, if nothing else, advising the reader that the "product" is totally unofficial.
On that note, some might ask why the NHC hasn't "picked up this system" - again, this is the problem with unofficial "forecast products".
Jeff, and the other professional meteorologists here, need to use caution when placing their own "forecasts" on this site - I learned while at NOAA, when it comes to a professional opinion, their words can be used against them in a court of law.

Maybe the NHC doesn't want oil prices to go up and that is why they don't mention it yet.

Hrm.. It's a forum though and well,it's a forum for the public to base their opinions on the systems as well. Forums aren't really used for one to log onto and read the posts expected professional information from each post.IMO it's what is expected to be found in a forum.If it were a page only for data etc I would agree.. Well that's just my opinion.. *backs away*

It's out to 60 hours so far and looking pretty similar to the previous run at the moment
