Been perusing the models thread here and I'm curious if any pro-mets have chimed in with which models they believe to be the most accurate with this system thus far. Our local mets haven't referenced any particular model at all, but one has already declared, "Beryl is going to XXX on this date at this time at this intensity." Pretty reckless, IMO - so I'm just wondering what other pro-mets' thoughts are about current models.
Also, have there been any model runs posted that include the steering pattern in the graphic?
So, I have been thinking for the past couple of days that this storm-specific model verification for public consumption is something that should be relatively achievable, even as a value addition to an existing website's display of models.
At first, I was thinking it would be some AI fu-fu silliness, but really, this should be something simple enough that it should already exist. All you need is to ingest text data from each and every model run you can get your hands on with locations and (if available) intensities, then simply compare against actual with distance/angle and intensity error, preferably with option of a short-term and long-term focus. Beyond that, you just have to codify the scoring system (he says briefly, angering statisticians).
However, this is also slightly dangerous. Model XYZ might be nailing it but have a bad run, and if someone sees that they might trust it over the NHC cone. The counterpoint to this is that, let's face it, some people foolishly do this already (don’t be that guy).
Either way, in a case like this, it's not going to tell you what happens after the Yucatan.
