He's not a TV met so he'll never be "noticed" but a damn good atmospheric science guy. He's been on the forums for many years. Especially in winter. His knowledge about hemispheric patterns, long range patterns and identifying winter storm windows are off the charts. But he's not a public forecaster so it's apples to oranges in the notoriety contest. His respect around here is at the top of the scale though.

Kmlwx Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 I always think it's funny when the lurker posters come out during big weather events and start telling the degreed meteorologists the reasoning behind things. Always good for a laugh. And regarding Weatherbuff - You're missing the entire point of what I'm saying. You went from one day saying "I'd trust Glen Schwartz over this guy who I've never heard of" to saying "it's important to get many opinions" - one does not equal the other. It's cool though - we can be civil - I'm just a little taken aback that you are trying to act like you didn't completely brush off HM as a reliable source on one day and then try to claim otherwise the next. Again, getting various opinions is good but that's not what you had initially said... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok apparantly he is good, but why not get his own website and do like DT and Joe Bastardi do, make some big bucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good grief - why does that matter? He's a good meteorologist. That was the one and only point I was trying to make. Who the heck cares if he's big and famous? That's not a precursor to being a reliable forecaster... And for the record - if you're saying Joe Bastardi is a wonderfully accurate forecaster that's a little lol-worthy.

nw baltimore wx Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 I just took a tour of Florida's east coast, perusing the latest point and click forecasts, and some of them are simply terrifying. Cape Canaveral says sustained winds from 110 to 125 mph with gusts to 145. I can only imagine what my hood would look like after something of that magnitude.

Maybe HM doesn't care if he's rich and just cares about fascinating atmospheric science. I'm not sure how salaries are at all relevant to what we were originally discussing. But okay.

There have been some not so great forecasters that have had "fame" - I'm not sure fame is at all equated with being a good forecaster in most cases. Let's just put this to rest.

mattie g Posted October 6, 2016 Share Posted October 6, 2016 Vacation postponed until early November. It's going to be a sh*t show for at least a couple weeks down there, and it wouldn't be worth using precious days off for a vacation that isn't really a vacation.

Ya made me check my Aunt's place North of St. Augustine (Vilano Beach) Friday Hurricane conditions expected. Showers and possibly a thunderstorm. Some of the storms could produce gusty winds and heavy rain. High near 85. Northeast wind 40 to 60 mph, with gusts as high as 80 mph. Chance of precipitation is 100%. Friday Night Hurricane conditions expected. Showers and possibly a thunderstorm before 2am, then showers likely. Some of the storms could produce gusty winds and heavy rain. Low around 74. West wind 90 to 110 mph decreasing to 39 to 49 mph. Winds could gust as high as 135 mph. Chance of precipitation is 90%. Plus approx 8" of rain and storm surge.

Between 12' surge, 15-20' waves and 8" of rain, the homes on the barrier island are toast. From what my Aunt said, neighbors are staying, and she's going to a friend's place 5 miles away but on the other side of the river.... She is being her usual bobble headed self. https://www.google.com/amp/s/actionnewsjax.relaymedia.com/amp/news/local/storm-suge-impacts-could-be-historic/454206364 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
