I wish I could half arse my job and blame the government

If they need someone to draw little squiggly lines from the storm to every available inch of coastline and call that a "prediction," I can do it. I got spare time.

I wonder who or what he blamed when he was wrong about other forecasts before the cuts

I’ve already depended on the OT hurricane threads more than people like him.
Especially Peej’s predictions.

Nash Robert’s was pretty good at it likely without over bloated government spending or computers/graphics.

I read the other day that the feds are quietly rehiring NWS meteorologists that DOGE recklessly fired. Maybe they will rehire enough to staff the offices.

All these figs fear mongering
What’s hilarious is we get better info on TD than meteorologists on tv

They already move the cone. What else do they even need? A monkey could do it.
Whats even the point of a cone if you’re allowed to move it?

Sounds like propaganda. Post the link with the source cited.

Really? Where do TD posters get their information? They get it from satellite imagery, radar, readings from buoys, complex weather modeling, and other assets of the NWS. Take away the tech published by the NWS, it all goes away.
But as I posted a few minutes ago, we may be ok because the Administration is hiring folks back.

It’s ok. We can look a the radar and see everything we need.
