Re: Skeetobite Maps

I love the detail on the maps, particularly county and city for these storms making landfall, but I do feel that the intensity line may be a little misleading. For instance, as of the 5a advisory, the intensity at 4 days is hurricane-strength but at 5 days Katrina is well inland and dissipating; the line, however, shows hurricane conditions along the entire path.

I'm not sure best to remedy this, though. I like the wind swaths more than the cone, but unfortunately the wind swaths aren't available beyond 3 days. There is the NHC's inland wind model, but I'm not sure if they have the equations for that readily available. I'll keep thinking, though.
