I can understand that guy's frustration. I've noticed that the NHC has started reminding people in their advisories that forecasting the track of a hurricane is not an exact science ... no kidding! REPEATING THE REMINDER FROM THE PREVIOUS DISCUSSION...BEAR IN MIND THAT 3-4 DAY TRACK FORECASTS ARE FAR FROM EXACT...SO THERE IS CONSIDERABLE UNCERTAINTY AS TO JUST WHEN AND WHERE IVAN WILL MAKE LANDFALL IN THE UNITED STATES. AND INTENSITY FORECASTS ARE EVEN LESS CERTAIN. nhc.noaa.gov The NHC has kept forecasting more of a turn to the North and Ivan has consistently moved more West than expected. After looking at the 5 AM forecast, I'm not even sure the eye will cross Cuba. Last night they had the eye going right over Grand Cayman. That is not going to happen (thankfully), as Ivan is still moving more West than expected. Heck, if Ivan doesn't turn more to the North soon, the Yucatan penisula is going to get hit.
