Message: [QUOTE="UConNick, post: 4035147, member: 3806"] This is the wrong attitude to have. Predicting weather, let alone tropical systems, with any sort of accuracy in terms of location, track, and intensity more than a day or two in advance is notoriously next to impossible. They are doing the best that they can with the data they’re given, and a lot of these predictions come directly from the data and models you admit to not understanding. It’s a thankless job. Does it sometimes border on fear-mongering? I suppose. But in general, it’s better people be cognizant of and prepared for a worst-case scenario, and then have a relative nothing-burger, than to have a worst-case scenario hit with no one prepared or aware.
