You must be looking at old data, because it made a turn early this morning and has turned more since then, eye is heading directly as predicted at southern NJ coast.
As my first post stated...Piers in a great forecaster....but this was a very reckless forecast. He is an AWESOME anti-AGW source...and routinely ROCKS long-range forecasts for climate. His track record against the government agencies in the US AND Europe is unmatched.
However, you cannot apply his techniques to short range forecasts. I hope this bust hasn't hurt his credibility. A 100 atta-boys get wiped out by one uh-oh....
