Hurricane Central / Re: Hurricane Irene
« on: August 23, 2011, 10:19:16 AM »i still don't trust the NHC's forecast, first they say Florida, then GA/SC, and now they say NC.So what forecast should they have put out? All the models were indicating a FL or Gulf storm. The center reforming to the north threw the models and forecast off as well as other environmental forecast issues. I know a lot of people who live in NC and the Outer Banks who think they know the storm will just curve out to sea. You can not ignore these forecasts and wait until the last minute. Not saying that what you are doing but many people with the same general idea are. Then come Thursday IF the storm actually does make landfall they will be flocking to the stores and crying about how there was no warning. The NHC puts the best forecast out there at the time. It should not be ignored or viewed as bad information.
By Thursday we should find out the true path of Irene.

« on: August 22, 2011, 11:57:36 PM »Well, tropical systems always seem to do the exact opposite of what I predict. I predicted it was going to get torn apart by the high mountains of Cuba. Now I know how to predict hurricanes, lol.Indeed their coverage is remarkable! Your prediction would have been probably right if the storm had crossed that area
All I can say is that I really look forward to TWC's coverage of Irene, regardless of how strong it gets. I think hurricanes (and Jim's thundersnow) are TWC's best coverages. I'll be interested to see what it does, but I really hope that people on the east coast start preparing ASAP. You definitely don't want to see if it's going to hit you or not before you get those batteries. I know from experience that they disappear like crazy.

« on: August 22, 2011, 11:39:30 PM »MAJOR hurricane status expected for tomorrow evening. CAT 4 may be possible for Thursday evening. I feel like the track is back to what it originally was before the 8 PM advisory...that is, slightly shifted eastward again and more of a curve to the northeast. Savannah, could you be spared?Thinking more of a Cat 4 rather than 5 but could be interesting.

Starting at 18z upper air obs are being taken every 6hrs in some locations

GFS takes it just to the OBX and off the coast. Another Earlish track? Its hard to tell when the models are going to stop moving east with the track

Most of the operational models taking an east coast track now. NHC will probably start coming east with their track

WeatherSTAR Tech Support / Re: **NEW POLICY** 8/17/11
« on: August 21, 2011, 03:29:55 AM »I don't want to sound like a jerk or nothing, but there is a new policy regarding requests for the STAR team. They now must be approved by the forum's admins. As for reporting errors, they don't require approval. Sorry to burst your bubble
How do we know this request wasn't approved? Does this policy mean that all approved requests must be passed along to the Star team through an administrator's account on the member's behalf? That would make things rather complicated for the rest of us to keep track of, wouldn't it?
Don't want to garble this thread with discussion on the new request policy, but I think there should be some way for members to know if a request was approved by admins or not. Otherwise there may be some issues.
Well I would make it so admin would have to approve all posts but that is time consuming and a waste of effort for a post every other day. The forum will be monitored and if an admin determines it is in violation the necessary consequences will be distributed. This is partly why it is an immediate 50% warn. There is no complications on the members behalf. Quite frankly any commentary in the STAR Support forum needs to be kept to a MINIMUM. It is not the members responsibility to monitor these posts. If a concern is raised the proper way to respond to any situation is to file a report. I have noticed an increase in chit chat over issues being posted. If you have nothing to contribute to the issue then posting is not necessary.
