As I stated in the previous post, I am not discrediting the structure of this wave. The wave WAS extremely impressive before exiting off the coast. I do believe that this wave is inching a little too far north and into the cooler waters, and a less favorable enviroment. Which actually will make me watch it even more now, being that the weaker this wave stays the further west it will travel with out the chance of a recurve. If this wave stays weak and makes it closer to the islands, then "Bingo- Bango" we have a lot to talk about.

My original post was more so directed at media and the influence they have gained on the NHC. I feel that over the past few years the NHC has been under the microscope from the media and the blind sheep that believe anything they hear on the TV or read in the paper. I still do believe that this pressure is why this wave was tagged so early. Our local newspaper has been running articles on possible development for over a week and then went as far as to tie it in with the chance of rain in our area. Its almost like they are resorting to scare tactics to get people perpared for hurricane season.

By the way I fully support the NHC. I think we see improvement every year in their performance and accuracy.
