There's no disclaimer there either. I sent off an email. I'm expecting a negative reply.

Well, shoot: Fox News has probably consulted their buddies with Accuweather and issued tropical storm warnings for the islands.

Does anyone have a read on what the reasoning is for the above track/intensity forecast? I don't think there's a lot of argument that the system is probably a TD by now, but those graphics are pretty ridiculous without good explanations. Again, with the exception of pressure, this seems close to the consensus here, but who puts that out without good evidence?

Just watched JB's video Big Dog for Friday. His track on unnamed system/TD6/Felix is pretty much the same as what Wxman57 and Derek are saying. He sees a strong ridge keeping the storm pretty much due west until it hits Central America.

Oh, I see that they're (AccuWeather) saying it has a 988mb pressure now? That must be a mistake. Perhaps they are forecasting that as the minimum pressure in a few days. Certainly above 1000 mb now, probably 1004-1006 mb.

Anyone with knowledge of US law... can Accuweather be sued if people take their false info and act on it?

Not being a lawyer,but knowing them as I do,I'd say yes..hey,if a dry cleaner can be sued for millions for losing a pair of pants,anything is possible!!

Imagine the embarrasment AccuWX will face if the Recon comes back finding a wave?

[RL3AO]

AccuWeather has as much right to issue warnings for the islands as me.


The Government of RL3AO has issued a Tropical Storm Warning for all of the Lesser Antilles.

Meanwhile, 94L continues to look more impressive with each passing hour:

GOES East Rainbow

GOES Floater One Rainbow

All of that is from their publicly available hurricane page.

And they had to Trademark this?

Good Gawd. Where's the nearest wastebasket?

It does look good, but try not to use the rainbow channel as it exaggerates cloud top temperatures.

Okay. Didn't know that.

Yeah ... it would be sweet.

But to tell the truth I do think recon will find a TD.

Not 988mb though - that's just ridiculous.

I think this is a TD, but i have thought that before, and seen recon come back unable to close off a center. I think recon will find a closed LLC today, but Accuweather will look kind of silly if they cant close off a center.

[storms in NC]

It could be on it way to TS at any time. I would say by 11 PM it will be a TS. MO

Thanks x-y-no

They'll just delete the graphic and pretend it never happened.

[cycloneye]

I would not rule out that NHC may issue a Special Advisory right after the first recon pass thru low center,if it shows a closed circulation and not wait until 5 PM.

Jb said west? Now I am worried about it turning north
