While there is no arguing that the models have shifted a bit southward. We should not be so quick as to second guess the preofessionals at the NHC. They have done and I'm sure will continue to do, a bang up job given the incredibly difficult and intricate nature(s) of their job(s).

Second guessing the pro's is at least half the fun of being an enthusiast.

And I will agree, they do incredibly well at a job I would not want. No matter what they do they will have at least a million people telling them afterwards they did it wrong.
