Frances is moving way to slow to have the track that everyone is thinking Give it 3 days and we will be talking about a fish...I have seen this way to many times now to get all worked up about Major land fallin Hurricanes...

Quite honestly it's got as much chance as being a fish as there will be a hurricane up here in the U.K :wink:

Don't think there has been one single hurricane where this has NOT been said. While some people may truely believe it..know for sure a couple just want to stir things up for attention. (and not saying that's the case..this may be one of the ones that truely believes no matter what it's a fish.)

As for me..when I want attention I'll just act like this: I WANT ATTENTION>>SOMEONE RUB MY PEBBLIE BELLY!!!! ;)

Yeah, and with the two tropical cyclones forming to her north, I have a hard time believing the track will stick. This will probably be another fish also.

Guess you don't buy the fact that the GFS is building a big ridge over the NE US in 7 days...a ridge that extends all the way to Africa. Now..I do believe the GFS is too far south with Frances...but it usually has a good handle on the synopics through 10 days. Please tell me how this is going to be a fish. Give me some meteorological reasoning. It is OK to have an opinion...but please back it up with some facts other than I've seen this before. Did you say that in 1992 when Andrew was in the same exact location?

I still think it's possible it could be a fish, but it looks unlikely to me. The models would have to be wrong with that ridge.

Dont get yourselves all worked up about this guys. He is probably somebody just trying to get attention. We need to keep watching this because it could pose a threat to the East Coast.

Since when do the many people I disagree with give their meteorological reasoning? I think we should be fair on this.

And that doesn't mean I didn't appreciate Air Force Met's insights, because I do. =) Just don't want people going rabid over this guy, and then when someone like Air Force Met questions a wishcaster they say 'Well I can have my own opinions' or 'Well I wasn't really predicting a category 2^8 hurricane'
