Re: An irresponsible forecast from someone a meteorologist in South Florida

Hopefully in the future he will not state it without absolute certainty though. He removed the post eventually.

"I have removed my previous post about Invest 93L as I've apparently offended some people, but I left the one I posted this Monday morning".

And this is part of what he had on Monday:

"The persistent upper level trough (or dip in the jet stream) along the east coast of the U.S. would act as a 'deflector shield', meaning there appears to be little risk for Florida from this system."

When there was no uncertainty in his post, some people may have got the wrong idea, especially if he has been a good meteorologist. "little risk" was an important distinction.
