BREAKING NEWS- HURRICANE ISABEL STUNNER ON CNN

[Josephine96]

I remember when Dave Marsh said Andrew was no threat to Florida.. at the same time, Pamela Brady and Danny Treanor were jumping on it like it was headed straight for us.. Dave Marsh must have had to eat crow for a long time...

Flip Spiceland is the morning and midday meteorologist here at the NBC affiliate in Atlanta....at WXIA-TV (11 Alive).

As for the CNN meteorologist...if he said the hurricane would recurve and miss Florida -- he's either psychic or an idiot....because ALL model guidance I've analyzed in the past 12-18 hours indicates a direct hit on the Sunshine State.

It would have been much better if Chad Meyers of CNN had stated that Isabel poses a threat to the Bahamas and U.S. east coast, but it could also recurve before getting that far west. Or at the very least said that in his OPINION it will recurve - but we still have to watch the storm. Making it sounds as if it will definitely be a fish storm for the U.S. - when most forecasters and models show Isabel making it to the U.S. coast - is just a bad idea.

I don't believe CNN news and I sure don't believe CNN weather. Don't watch any news channel except FOX. Fox Rocks.

CNN is nothing more than a shill for special interests that are NOT my interests.

[Steve H.]

Surprised CNN would do that. They like to hype things, a nd they could play this up for over a week! Let's be nice in here guys, and Rob is playing the devils advocate. Actually chances are CNN will be right (if you look at probabilities). We are watching this from the standpoint of "it COULD" affect the east coast. This a very far out in the future. Let's see if the probabilities increase over the weekend Cheers!!

I agree with you dixiebreeze!

I said troll and my post gets Edited

Please explain why this just happened ?

[ameriwx2003]

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.

It sounds like CNN has Flip Wilson doing weather now:):)

SHAME ON ANYONE WHO LISTENS TO A FORECAST 10 DAYS OUT FROM ANY NEWTWORK

[wx247]

I listened to Chad Meyers this morning on my Satellite Radio this morning and I could have sworn he said that the hurricane would move Nw, not NE. I can't swear to it though... my mind was trying to concentrate on the idiot drivers on the road... I'll save that for another topic.

[ColdFront77]

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 live in the same community here in central Florida as Chad Myers parents. Maybe that is why he MAY of said that Isabel will move NNE.

Well, as some of you know, Ted Turner owns not only CNN, but the Cartoon Network, too.

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.

Former CNN meteorologist Flip Spiceland has been on WSB-TV in Atlanta, Georgia.

I remember when Dave Marsh said Andrew was no threat to Florida.. at the same time, Pamela Brady and
Danny Treanor were jumping on it like it was headed straight for us.. Dave Marsh must have had to eat crow for a long
time...

Dave Marsh wasn't entirely incorrect. Hurricane Andrew didn't effect his forecasting area, at least the central and
northern portions of the Orlando viewing area.

John, I heard that Danny Treanor was coming back to Channel 9. Have you heard about this?

[Josephine96]

Cold front, yes I did.. but instead he works for Central Florida News 13... A station on Time Warner owned by the Orlando Sentinel...

It seems some people are attacking CNN not for their weather reporting, but cuz it doesn't fit into their right-wing political view like Fox News does. Let's politics aside and let's state, reality.

First of all the cable news network really suck when it comes to weather reports, at least when there isn't a hurricane getting ready to strike the US. They never gave seem provide a good weather segement to me.

However if there is one network that is the best out of all of them, it is CNN. They have weather reports about in every half hour, with a met, at least during the weekdays, in the weekends during their news segements, except for breaking news of course. I can always expect to know when they come although not exactly what time, but it general time. MSNBC weather reports come from Accuweather, and it's more harder to tell when they come on, sometimes they are taped, but they always have mets giving the forecast. Fox News on the other has this guy in the morning, who also seems to anchor the news somehow, and does the weather on the weekdays, and then on weekends it's an entertainment reporter. You don't when Fox News is going to give a weather forecast, and alot of time it's isn't from a met. Only if the mets come on when their's more "weather" to talk about, and those are the mets form Boston, who don't seem to be updating their forecasts or advisories, graphics, or satellites. You hardly ever see the NHC director on Fox News, which you see more often on CNN, and you at least get JB the hurricane expert (my biased view of him) on MSN.

CNN may be more liberal in their news coverage but Fox News is the worst when it comes to weather. I think Rob may be misinterperting what he hears on CNN, I don't think they would say it would likely it would turn out to see, but perhaps just pointing out a possible scenerio.
