It is TWC's and Accuweather's job to forecast what weather will impact the United States (and, to a lesser degree, other areas of the world) in the next few days. It is the NHC's job to forecast the potential for tropical cyclone formation over the next couple of days and then to forecast the strength/track of a system once it has formed. They are watching everything we are -- and much, much more -- but it does not get disseminated in some product to the public because no such product exists. There's no reason for it to be, either -- there's nothing out there of immediate concern. Rest assured that they are watching the tropics more closely than we are on a day-to-day basis.

right--their job, my hobby. unless you guys want to start paying me to post here. or to not post here.... -HF
