There's been an awful lot of flaming/unwarranted blowback on lately on posters who aren't as bullish on a storm or simply state that the risk for a given area is low or decreasing. that is unfortunate and benefits no one. On that same note we've got a two-fer for Florida folks...the risk appears low and has been decreasing. Naturally that does not mean there is no risk. that's why we watch forecasts evolve. but there's nothing wrong with stating the current scene and trends. happy watching.
I agree about Hammy's call. It really was spot on.
Yes, the flaming and meteorological pissing contests have been frustrating. That coupled with the super long term prediction arguments has been a bit of the bummer---I know, I'm new here and it happens often lol. But, I'm just surprised not to see more level-headed approaches to the long term trends and forecasts. I reckon everyone wants to grab a little fame and be "first" to accurately call it.
I have no problem with the discussion of current trends and forecasts....just a turn off on the long term speculation stuff. Thx for the reply!
