As far as I’m concerned, they’re both pretty much worthless.

They WANT this storm to hit and ruin New England and NY so they have something to talk about other than Trump, Hillary, ISIS, etc. The want Odumbass to be able to go out an promise federal funds to the masses for repairs, food ,etc. The storm brings the potential for massive govt control and they are craving it.

Joe Bastardi from Weatherbell.com made the call Thursday morning that the hurricane would miss the east coast. That’s all I need.

Virtually everything you see on those commercial weather sites come DIRECTLY from these interlinked sites:

http://www.weather.gov/

http://www.wpc.ncep.noaa.gov/

http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/

Go right to the source and ask the horse (and avoid all the ads and social media noise).

Also extremely useful is this site:

Keep a eye on Jeff Masters’ blog linked there. True, he’s a Global Warming devotee, but for near term stuff, he’s good.

They forecasted TS Erika to become a hurricane and track up the East coast. It ended up tracking into the Gulf of Mexico and becoming a remnant low pressure system.

Why should I believe this Joaquin forecast is any more accurate?

Predictions are all over the map. Good article on this today.

Check their "sponsors". Hehehe. Home improvement or grocery stores on the list? The local weathermen can make a storm system do some serious acrobatics to load up the checkout lines.
All this as the news crew vans desperately whiz by looking for some rotten structure that has succumbed to thunderstorm force winds and toppled. While just off camera the elated property owner smiles and jumps for joy cause now insurance hasta pay for the rotten thing to be replaced. d;^)

Two very different predicted tracks

Doesn’t matter either way. If there is breeze enough to blow paper down 5th Ave and enough rain to make a puddle it will be a ‘cataclysmic disaster’ for the crybabies in the N.E. Nothing like victims waiting for a disaster that doesn’t happen.

[Senator_Blutarski]

So to net this out, is this now looking like a “fish storm” with some rain possible along the east coast?

I have 2 weather apps on my phone and they never have the same temperature or for that matter if there will be sunny skies or rain. Yet we are to believe that the weather people can predict climate change down to a degree.
