Ricreig, are you reading my mind from FL?? I heard the story about the 'New Graphics' on the drive to work tonight. First thing that crossed my mind, was that NHC/TPC liked Skeetobite's maps so much they decided to use them.
I seriously doubt the NHC has ever seen, much less evaluated Skeeters graphics. I would hope that a few of us could write our comments on the NHC proposals directly to the NHC at the address they provided for comment, giving our thoughts both about their proposals, but a URL to Skeeterts graphics with lucid and compelling reasons they should consider his format or if they don't like them, at least adopt the NRL format as a compromise. Also, there is nothing wrong with a combination of graphics, the detail of Skeeters when the storm is within 12-24 hrs or less of landfall, or the NRL from 1-3 days, and their current graphics for greater than 3 days using the 'cone' of uncertainty. Whatever they do *may* depend on IF and HOW MUCH *WE* provide feedback not just yes or no, but why.
