Time For Some NHC Bashing

Thanks for the clarification StormsPr!

There is a product that mentions those features. Its called the Tropical Weather Discussion issued by TAFB. The TWO (which is not intended for use by the general public) indicates areas where there is an iminent threat of tropical cyclone formation. A system that is over land has no chance, regardless of convection never should be mentioned in the outlook. The outlook is not issued to satisfy the wants of the tropical weather enthusiast, instead it is written to alert those who need to know about the possibility of TC formation within the next 36-48 hours.


Also, isn't it amazing that NHC only gets bashed when they forecast no development or when the do not forecast something to people's home town?

Then why have it on a free site available to anyone with internet ??

sorry to break in here, but its not a free site, its paid for by taxpayers

what i meant was that you dont have pay to enter the site and see and read whatever is inside. and you dont have to register to enter .thats what i meant by free. so is a free site. yea its paid by taxpayers just like all the bombs used in irak,the money for all the space missions, and all govern related agencys!

thanks. i consider a free site to be s2k. i dont have to pay anything to log in there

I'd pefer these to be back to a restricted access, whether intra gov't or gov't and university or whatever.

The fact is, most people do not ever see a public advosiry, nor do they even care to. They get their storm news from the TV or radio news.

Why? That is the most unacceptable option I have ever heard.

The only people who read these discussions are the people who want to. And the argument that people who dont understand them read them is not going to hold, either. I don't think you were making that argument before you went to school. I recall you reading thesee from your home all the time.

By your logic we should also restrict access to the nws AFD's, HWO's, SPC SWODYS, and countless other governmental information.

That is an unacceptable and dangerous line of thinking. It is a very good thing that the government does not base it's policy on your preferences.

Unbelievable.

I was one of the people to make the summaries for public use.
