well said, Gianmarc. I also don't presume to know better & I know they have to use what's available to them & are trying to change some things but the "cone" really needs some work... & HFIP's funding really needs to be restored to a level that keeps our nation's official weather forecasting on par with the world's leading sources, if not better than
I mean we can find flowing water on Mars, but aren't very good at communicating where water may fall on the US in 5 days !
here's Postel's bit on WUTV about the cone: http://www.wunderground.com/wutv/?video=1728176
here's NHC's definition: http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/aboutcone.shtml
and "about the graphics": http://www.nhc.noaa.gov/aboutnhcgraphics.shtml
when it takes 7 paragraphs for the experts to explain it, it's not much use to the avg citizen looking for info in an emergency situation, jmo
