This is still 4 days away and some of you are saying it's got zero chance of going through the channel, despite it being well within the cone of uncertainty. Some of you guys are sounding more and more like the muppets who were forecasting a direct hit on Tampa during Charley last year because all the models converged around that area. At 4 days out anything can happen. A large amount of the Texas coast will liklely be in the next updates' cone of uncertainty. It's final landfall is also still 6-7 days away. If you guys really are able to pinpoint these landfalls and which areas are safe, they should just throw away all the computer models and hire you guys to write the advisories, as you clearly know more than the experts do!

When it comes to cable news weather, it is hard to beat Jacque Jeras.

Models are very tightly clustered on a Yucatan hit, not missing to the north. I'm not ruling out South Texas yet though.
not saying that they are still off but those same models had even a tighter cluster on a hispaniola hit and traverse of cuba a few days ago. too far out for anyone to make a solid call off these models.

Well, I totally disagree with that. The others are not like Janice and I prefer Fox News over the others.
Anyway, we're getting way off topic. Let's take the news preferences to the Off Topic forum.

After watching the news stations coverage of Dennis:
(excluding the weather channel) the best station for hurricane coverage was by FAR CNN. They NEVER went off subject, and constantly talked about the storm (even though Soledad O'Brien can't tell the difference between a bridge and a pier.....but they do make great analogies
). Fox News and MSNBC, on the other hand, went off subject all the time AND not to mention, Fox News scared the crap out of my parents when they were the ONLY ONES talking about Dennis becoming a category 5.....and being x mph away from being a category 5. Come on now, none of that.
MSNBC's coverage just wasn't that great, but at least they didn't scare the crap out of people.

Prior to working on WFAN, Dean was a weekend on-air traffic reporter for CBS 2 New York. Before that, she was at CHUM Limited in Ottawa, Canada where she held numerous positions such as a morning news anchor for “Breakfast at the New RO,” producer and host of “The Broad Perspective” on CFRA and an anchor for KOOL-FM. From 1998-2001, Dean hosted various radio programs in Houston, Texas at affiliates including: Metro Networks, KODA-FM, KKBQ-FM and KLDE-FM.
Dean began her career in Ottawa, Canada at CHEZ-FM where she was a morning show co-host, reporter and DJ. In 1997, she was an on-camera weather host at CBOT Television. Dean received an honors diploma from Algonquin College, in Radio and Television Broadcasting.
She has NEVER worked in weather before, except of course as "Weather Host" on CBOT TV (???)
Oh that explains it... she worked with Don Imus. Every morning when I turn on MSNBC(when I'm up early enough), I have to endure his ugly face.

I hate CNN but I did watch them more then the others during Dennis they no doubt had the best coverage...I guess I'll watch them for coverage of weather but as far as anything else they are only one sided...
