Hurricane Central / Re: Tropical Storm Emily
« on: August 02, 2011, 10:14:04 PM »The thing is, do not look at the center of the cone. Look at the entire cone. Anyone in the cone should pay attention. Not just the people in the center.Excuse me for looking at the NHC forecast and finding out the city in the middle of the cone...at this time, that looks like the most reasonable location, and people need as much notice as possible. I'm pretty sure that local Miami meteorologists aren't brushing this off...
That is exactly what you shouldn't do this far out. Everyone along the Gulf and East Coast should always be prepared for that big hit. At this point this far out the best you can do is monitor the situation. By making landfall predictions this far out you only scare people or throw people off on what to believe. I spoke with the NHC director recently and he talked about how when people look at the 5 day cone they A. Don't think it will hit , B. Think it will weaken, C. Think it will hit in the center of the cone and nobody else.
Take a look at this chart and look at forecast accuracy.
Perhaps when making predictions you should back them up with facts and reasoning (besides saying its in the center of the cone). Start looking at model and satellite data.

Hurricane Central / Re: Tropical Storm Emily
« on: August 02, 2011, 09:42:36 PM »looking at the drought monitor GA/FL will get rain they desperately needThe drought has gotten better, though, in Georgia and Florida. No D4 areas (exceptional) in Florida, like there had been and much less areas of exceptional drought in Georgia. Still, they do need more rain to help out more and hopefully they'll get it.

« on: August 01, 2011, 05:51:46 PM »Hopefully this thing makes landfall on Texas, they desperately need some rain after the drought.You mean they desperately need rain since they are in such a bad drought. "After" would mean that the drought there is over and it's nowhere near over. I hope they get much-needed rain, too.

Local Forecast / Re: IntelliStar Changes
« on: July 30, 2011, 06:13:19 PM »
Because that is reason why I like the IntelliStar so much. The 7 city list on the older stars, varied by distance, but were usually at least 50 miles to 150 miles away, the same way with the 8 city list on the XL. However, with the IntelliStar, the list is more localized with names of cities/towns that are only 60 miles away, at a maximum in most cases. That was so neat!
Also, like you said, the wind was featured and is no longer featured since they took this part of the IntelliStar off.
To me, this is like the last OCM to have been there since the late 80s being let go and no longer on TWC or "I Saw Three Ships" by David Arkenstone to no longer being on the Christmas music playlist.

« on: July 30, 2011, 02:04:07 PM »As I said before, I don't think losing the 8-city observations screen is any big loss. The regional and metro maps look so much better, but the 8-city list is simply left over from the days of the original text-only Stars. If memory serves, I think the "Latest Observations" screen was even used on the WeatherStar I!No big loss?! It's a huge loss! It's the worst thing they could have done.
That was my very favorite thing about the IntelliStar! 
I strongly disagree. There's an old saying, "if it ain't broke, don't try to fix it."Also, the 8-city list is not left over from the screen used on the first WeatherStar. It was 7 cities on those STARs from that one through the 4000 and 8 cities, beginning with the XL.

You bet I've had weather dreams. I have dreamed several different times, (a lot of times, actually) that I have been in a tornado. In one of them, I was storm chasing. If thought deeplt about them, I could give more details.

Hurricane Central / Re: Tropical Storm Don
« on: July 28, 2011, 06:13:22 PM »
Hopefully, Don will help more than harm Texas. Hopefully, Don will bring some very much-needed rain to that drought-stricken state. I certianly believe that it will help put a good dent in the drought there, however, unfortunately, the situation has reached such a critical level that it will not end it. For a drought like that to end, you have to have heavy rainfall rather frequently over a period of time. But, Don will help get that process started, hopefully.

But WBRC in Birmingham had it's own Doppler.... while the WSR-57@ Centreville was still in operations.

« on: July 25, 2011, 05:47:15 PM »
Now, why would they include a peculiar-sounding song like this one with cats meowing on the local forecast playlist?
