[rob8303]

Chad Meyers, CNN's morning met, just reported that Hurricane Isabel was going to turn N and NE in the coming days and he did a little projection on CNN and it showed the storm moving about 200-300 miles of Florida coast and then going out to sea. GREAT NEWS!

I have never trusted CNN's mets regarding hurricanes.. They predicted the same thing for Erin and I believe they thought the same thing for Andrew right up till the very end.

I do not trust CNN

That is not good weather reporting from that TV guy because it is way to far out in days to know what the ridge will do if it continues strong or not and if shortwave troughs appear or not moving to the east coast that may influence Isabels track but again it is many many days out to say what he said.

(CNN) -- Still days away from landfall, Hurricane Isabel early Wednesday churned through the Atlantic as a powerful Category Four storm, the National Hurricane Center in Miami said.

At 5 a.m. EDT, Isabel was about 785 miles (1265 km) east-northeast of the northern Leeward Islands, swirling with 135 mph (215 km/h) winds.

"Isabel is moving toward the west near 14 mph (22 km/h), and this general motion is expected to continue during the next 24 hours," forecasters said.

Isabel became a dangerous Category Four storm Monday, and forecasters said it is possible that the storm could reach near 145 mph winds by Wednesday, followed by slow weakening. A Category Five hurricane has winds topping 155 mph.

Isabel is the fourth hurricane of the 2003 Atlantic season and the second major storm, coming on the heels of Hurricane Fabian, which slammed into Bermuda on Friday.

Isabel is following a similar course across the Atlantic to that followed by Fabian in its early days, but National Hurricane Center forecasters have not yet seen indications that Isabel will make the northeasterly turn that brought Fabian to Bermuda.

Instead, a forecast map shows the storm trekking more or less west through the weekend, coming within 200 miles of the north of the northeasternmost Caribbean islands, then taking a northwesterly path.

LOL Linda Loo.. I think I'd rather get my weather from Dexter then from 1 of the CNN guys.

CNN is good for everything newswise except the weather..

The best weatherman at CNN was Flip Spiceland and I wonder where he is because I would like to see him again doing weather on TV.

[Downdraft]

Incredible that a major network MET would go that far out on a limb so soon. If he's right the NHC needs him and if he's wrong, and I suspect he will be, he'll be funnier than Dave Marsh in Orlando saying Andrew posed no threat to Florida. That was one day before it hit Homestead. We watch...we wait....we guess.

[Lindaloo]

I forgot about Flip Ceye. I wonder where Flip is these days? CNN lost a great met.
