Two fricking days?
Let's extrapolate this to if Francine had been a Cat 5. Was the NHC planning to tell everybody from Lake Charles to New Orleans to evacuate because they couldn't pin it down any better?

Not really
The center of Francine still hadnt really formed 2-3 days out. Similar situation

This storm is quickly organizing I'm impressed that they're able to predict what they are able to right now

HAFS suite came in weaker but it's because it gets the center over the Yucatan for a good 18 hours.
The HWRF and HMON did not and are coming in quite a bit deeper as a result.

To the untrained eye that is fricking awesome and awful at the same time.

yes it is - with the outside influences and location of where it is, it is a completely different situation.
Francine's situation was predicated on the influence of stuff that did not materialize until later than expected.
with Helene you are already seeing the influence of the High to the east.
look im not an expert - but the discussions of both storms has been pretty different in terms of predictions.

What do you want them to do, lie?

TS-level winds in Atlanta is going to probably snap a ton of our dry trees.

I want them to acknowledge that a lot of what they do is guesswork. But they won't because it would raise uncomfortable questions about whether we're getting our money's worth from their budget.
They can write a five paragraph update full of jargon and data, but if they can't tell me two days in advance whether a storm is coming straight at me or 150 miles to my east, that is not actionable intelligence.
Bruce Katz was right about Francine and he had far fewer resources than the NHC.

Obviously Opal did it, but we've mostly avoided these scenarios. Zeta tore up our area pretty well in Buckhead/Sandy Springs and I think those gusts topped out at alike 50ish.
Trees giveth and they taketh away
