True that, some of the local NWS handling has been (in my opinion) more on target than the NHC empire (which was the focus of my discussion points, as the media keys on that so much.)
Their information comes from the NHC.
I don't want to argue. Yes, the NHC info is factored into NWS statements along with other input. I KNOW what the NHC usual venues designed for this did and didn't say and when. No A+ from me, that's all, far from it, sorry all. And I've been warned to stop commenting (or maybe it's a Watch?) LOL.
I mean, what was the NHC supposed to do? At one point it looked as though Elsa could come in as a weak TS. What if the NHC had put the H on the map and then Elsa landfalled as a 35kt TS?
To me the NHC has done a fantastic job with this storm. I've never experienced a TS or hurricane but I feel like people should fully prepared, even if a storm is forecast to be "just" a TS. It shouldn't matter if the H is on the map or not. The NHC has had Elsa coming into W FL at at least 55kts+ on most of their forecasts for this storm so it's not like the public didn't know it was going to be impactful.
Just my thoughts.
