For a 5 day forecast, that's essentially identical to the NHC forecast

The NHC has changed their days old earlier track to agree with ACCU.

I have a snowbird friend who left last week for Naples. I couldn't resist giving him a jab: so I sent the then ACCU track in an e- mail entitled "AccuWeather terrorizing the FLA. snowbirds with hurricane Wilma forecast"

The text read "AccuWeather has a category 3 hurricane heading into Florida's west coast this coming Sunday. Nat Hurricane forecast has it on a more westerly course.

This is the reply I received:
"Just to let you know........it's been 67 years since any hurricane has hit Naples......you've had lots more trouble in Scituate than we've ever had here."

Yeah, that AccuWeather track for Ophelia heading into the Gulf of Mexico when NHC had it slowly moving towards North Carolina really worked out well, didn't it?
