Rules for Hurricane Tracking

[Tampa Bay Hurricane]

Also enjoy the storm chase no matter what- without getting to wish casty
Enjoy and don't despair
of course always pray for those in the path of a storm and never root
for a storm that is headed for people.

53. Try not to assume motives for official NHC forecasts beyond the data, as in, "they're calling it tropical/giving it a name/saying it's a hurricane, even though it isn't, because they want everyone in Miami/Houston/New Orleans/Nag's Head/Peoria to pay attention"

Based off rule 50

52. The GFS sucks at predicting tropical systems more than six days out, stop using it. ESPECIALLY in March or April.

I fixed it...

The last portion of your post MUST be emphasized.

True, prevents me from eating crow. I fixed it.

54: The RaZr is a phone.

Only people who were in chat one night last year will get that one.

Where Jim Cantore goes, the hurricane will not.

I wish that were the case in Katrina. I saw Cantore last year in Waveland. I told him I didn't want to see him here any more.....MGC

Hahahahaha!!

On the contrary, ever heard of the Cantore curse? It seems the canes follow the Cantore.

55. Your brain is not a computer model nor an official forecast.

Let me rephrase..

56: If it is 1016mb in a 1020mb area, technically it's a low... but come on, now.
57: That tropical storm is not annular.
58: Chances are, it's not becoming annular.

59: That invest ain't annular either.

[MiamiensisWx]

People are far too liberal with the definition of a true annular tropical cyclone. A slightly symmetric TC and warm convective tops do not imply that the TC is a true annular hurricane.

60. Consult reliable information before declaring that a TC is annular.

[brunota2003]

Better yet

61. Wait until the NHC says it is annular.

[Scorpion]

62. Use models only to find trends.. don't take them literally

Kept Rita away from HOU. I don't think a big hurricane has hit HOU since he retired from NHC. But he is transitioning to full retirement this year. Lets hope he doesn't move to Florida.

63: Your forecast for the number of storms this year is incorrect.
