I know many people have their doubts about Joe Bastardi and his forecasting of tropical systems, but...you have to admit that he nailed the forecast on Jeanne. Look at the attached AccuWeather forecast map they put out on September 15. That's an amazingly accurate forecast placed TEN days out! Joe was off by 4 days on the timing because of Jeanne's little loop-de-loop.
I remember when this forecast came out on Accuweather and it strongly contradicted the NHC forecast of heading North and out to sea. A lot of people thought Joe had lost his marbles. Well, well....he who laughs last....
