I've always been fascinated by hurricanes and the forecasts that come out with them days prior to landfall.

SO SO SO often, they are forecasted to be much bigger than they are. For what reason? I'm not sure if it's incompetence or if the networks are just trying to drum up some real time viewership.

As of 9:40PM - MONDAY - here is what the chief meteorologist at CNN says - video here. He has it hitting North of Tampa as a cat 3.

ACCUweather has it also coming in at a cat 3.  Read their forecast here.

 

 

And FOX NEWS? Let's take a look.

 

 

FOX NEWS doesn't have one mention of it on their site at 9:50PM on Monday. A Ron Jeremy story, oh sure. Hurricane? Not a mention.

 

MSNBC?

Here are the top ELEVEN news stories on MSNBC's website. Not a mention of the hurricane.

 

THE WEATHER CHANNEL

 

The WEATHER CHANNEL also has it making land fall at a cat 3.

So let's take a look at what actually happens on Wednesday and see how well the forecast was for it.

MY PREDICTION: It will be a cat 2, and it will track further South than they have it. I'd say the eye will be closer to Tampa than northward thereof as most forecasts are saying. Just my 2 cents.

 

What's yours?
