Wait, recon is not sampling it right now?

Again, I find a tropical cyclone near these islands completely different and moving NNW to NW

Actually, Joe mentioned the NAM only in passing. He's has had his eye on the west coast trough for quite some time. I respect Joe's meteorological acumen and have interviewed him several times for my ClimateTruth blog.
We'll see in two or three days which direction this storm tracks. There are plenty of factors still in play that could influence Isaac's path.
wheres JB have the storm heading these days???

The school board has stated that all public schools will be open on Monday because it doesn't appear that Isaac will have a "direct impact" on the county. They do advise parents of children who have to walk to school or ride their bikes to watch out for "periods of heavy rain," however.
I'm surprised that they can predict what is going to happen 3 days ahead. Can't things change by then? Hmmmmm....![]()

That's a very nice map and concept. I would remove the storm category legend from the S2k map through. It can be confusing people into thinking all in yellow = Cat 1 winds. I know it's not official.

It confuses people... they think that the cone is the area that will receive affects... they don't understand the strike probability that the cone is supposed to convey. The closer you get to the storm, the smaller the cone gets, which many people mistakenly interpret to mean that they won't receive affects. Instead, they should show a band of expected wind speed coverage for the storm's passage so that people can see the actual width of a tropical cyclone. You see this band from time to time on some sites, but the cone is usually the graphic that gets the most coverage.

Aric, any theories about what implications a stall or slow down might have on the track?
