[Skywarn] 5 Day Forecast - Debby

[How's The Weather?]

Greetings.

Just sent this email to the National Hurricane Center:

"To Whom This May Concern:

In my humble opinion, and with UTMOST respect and admiration for the work
being done at NHC, it was shortsighted and irresponsible to issue a 5 day
forecast for Tropical Storm Debby.

Considering the amazing divergence and lack of agreement among the forecast
models, it would have been more prudent to issue a *3 day forecast*with
this caveat:  "Due to the lack of consensus among the forecast models, we
can responsibly issue only a 3 day forecast.  When there is more agreement
among the models, we will consider extending our forecast."

By going out 5 days, and being incorrect, you appear unreliable.

And you certainly don't want to do that..."


Thoughts?

Thanks!

Jan
