Awesome! I hated how hard it was to get information in the old discussions. The new ones are a lot better.

Flows much smoother

The organization is much better and makes easier reading/scanning.

However I hope they still include the link to the graphic. That was helpful when interpreting the discussion. Even though the discussions will be better the graphic will still be helpful.

TWD changes

I wonder if "BLAKE" had any input to this? He always writes such moving pieces, uh, tropical weather discussions. Really, Blake is an excellent communicator on the TWDs.

I'm all for it....

Yaay.

Yes I agree that Blake does the best discussions in a very detailed way however Berg does a fine job too.

I actually perferred the old format instead of the new one. That discussion was only that detailed due to who wrote it, and I know from experience that he is quite knowledgable

Thats a Valid Point

Very True Derek. Depending on who is writing the discussion will determine the detail. I remember many discussions being short and non-imformational. Hoping there will be a detailed format to follow this upcoming season but I will take what I get from individuals writing the discussions.
