2016 Atlantic Hurricane Season: Non-Minnesotans arguing about the weather...

It looks like The Grinch!

NECN weather dude said this morning that once Matthew gets to about NC, it hangs a sharp right so will not make its way up to New England. Which is good because it will mean that Red Sox/Cleveland game 3 won't get rained out.

Dr. Greg Forbes just used the phrase " a disaster seems very likely" when talking about Matthew's current track on Facebook. It's getting to be pucker time in South Florida...

Think Matthew could turn into a loop hurricane?

So, this is one of two places to discuss this. And since it's the most active, I'll put it here.

Do you guys think the meteorologists that work at weather underground still respect the website? Not the concept or the organization, but the website.

You can no longer get model data. The radar has no options for "HD", angle, and you can't get level II data anymore. The wundermap is no longer a wonder but a generic map that can be found on any site.

What about some of the original members that stayed on when it was bought by TWC? Do you think the founders regret selling at all?

I'm still trying to find a replacement that has that perfect combination of science and form.

I suspect the originals who mattered moved on. It's like getting bought by any big fish: your security goes up (after the initial 50% cuts) but your job satisfaction craters.

I fit the enormous Evil Corp. I work for, but I'm ancient and I care about reachback if my customer comes out of their stupor one morning and whimsically cuts every contractor with a prime number of letter in his or her last name. It's like a bond portfolio: it fits my stage of life. But I were young I'd flee to someplace vulnerable but non-soul-destroying. That's what WU was once.

NOAA's website has crashed just before the 11pm update.

It's really eerie that it's missing landfall by only a few miles as it works up the coast. Good for wind damage, but just as bad (worse?) for flooding.
