My #1 is the national hurricane center followed very closely by hurricane hollow forum.

What kind of a hurricane forecaster would I be if I didn't trust my own research more than the NHC? 
However, I never miss a chance to watch TWC and see what Steve Lyons has to say. The NHC is just too political now - directing storms toward major population areas as a "strategy of least regret" (Georges into New Orleans vs. Mississippi in '98) and naming systems that didn't even have a closed circulation (Grace last year) according to their own recon reports.

No, seriously I like this website, the NHC, Accuweather and The Weather Channel. The NHC is my first choice, but you really get the best picture using the NHC combined with this forum and various other resources for additional maps, graphics, news stories, etc..-
