Re: Tropical Depression Nine Forms in Atlantic

As far as if it is going to hit the U.S all you can do right now is guess and not wild but a guess.

As far as wishcasters oh ya there are some you watch when they post here forcast about it going to a certain place in the U.S and then it turns out to sea they go away till a turn comes back.I have read this forum a long time and as with every site there is always wishcasters and they will be out no matter what NHC says.


Just read back to the Dennis posts to see them they are there.

The point is the NHC does not go and make predictions more then 5 days out and even then the margin for error is great so how can ANYONE right now say anything for down the road but wait and see.


You can't make a prediction now about 7-10 days from now as the NHC can't even but watch the people will be out in force soon with the francis posts and the watch out east coast of Florida posts.


Is it just too boring to say well guys lets check it in 3 days from now and se whats up.

Nope that would be boring so the uneducated predictions will come.

You want one from me that will come true? like most i cant be wrong.

Well it has a 50/50 shot at either going out to sea or going west and hitting the U.S.

Well im a forcaster now huh? im going to be right 1 way or the other.

Since kevin already responded to your post below, i will simply remind you that attacks, however 'innocent,' on other posters will not be tolerated. Let's keep the tone civil.
