Re: 2005 Forecast model performance

For fun, go to http://www.wunderground.com/tropical/ scroll down to the "Hurricane Archive" section, look at the "Tracking maps and info for all Atlantic storms, 1886-2005" box. Select a year, select a Storm and look at the "Forecast Verification" link. They take a while to run and I won't vouch for validity, but it is interesting to look at. There are patterns,
but for just research they should provide insight. "PLEASE, PLEASE, do not count on this data for future references or predictions"!!! Let's listen to the Met's and other experts for that.
