Well, that's certainly a possibility, but it may not be a probability. Joe B. has a very strong bias toward forecasting every storm to hit the east U.S. coast. He's one of the biggest "people I disagree with" out there in that respect. I'd like to see his forecast track if he had customers with multi-billion dollar projects along the east coast. Would he tell them the same thing if it would cost them millions of dollars and AccuWeather a customer?
Now, I do like watching Joe every day, he's a character. But you have to watch out for that east coast bias.
