Not reliable as looking at something 15-16 days ahead is the worse thing to do.The errors are huge.

I'm sorry to be so unweather savvy, but my daughter lives on the coast of NC and I tend
to be a little overprotective in that department. I didn't mean to jump the gun, but Thank
you all sincerely. This is one less worry for me.

That is exactly the purpose of a forum like this...
There is absolutely nothing wrong with asking a question, especially a Tropical Weather Question in a weather forum.
