NHC time changes?

[air360]

ok...maybe i just remember wrong...but it seems as if the NHC are now releasing everything on the half hours so far this season...as in 1130 and at 530...wasnt it on the hour 11 and 5 last season or is that just my bad memory?

No... it's still officially 5am, 11am, 5pm, 11pm, but the advisory is almost always out early.

Yes, they try to have them out just before local news broadcasts.

thats odd becuase for the past few advisories ive noticed them coming out way late and even the header shows it being on the half hour. Its 523PM and the 5pm outlook still has not come out...and here is the header from the 11am

The TWO's come out at 530am, 1130am, 530pm, and 1030pm. Advisories for named storms are 5am, 11am, 5pm, 11pm(Eastern)

ahhhh the source of my confusion!! It WAS my bad memory. I suppose with so many named storms last season i was used to advisories coming out on the hour. Thanks for helping me clear that up..haha

Usually when they have less they have to talk about or new to add from the previous, you would see the outlooks and advisories come out earlier than their scheduled times.
