Here is a plot from Storm Carib that shows where Ivan is going if nothing changes its course.

Yikes!!!

Put in 13.4 N and 67.7 W and your current location and see where it goes.

1) It's not a "Model." A model is a computerized simulation of the atmosphere. Stormcarib has no "models."

2) A line on a map showing a forecast track for a hurricane MAY be a "model" track, or it may not. The NHC forecast track is NOT a model. A human being looks at a variety of models to produce it, but it's not a model track or a model.

3) The stormcarib thing is just a web tool based off the NHC forecast track.

I incorrectly used the wrong terminology and I am willing to take my punishment.
