The National Hurricane Center (NHC) issues a number of text products with every tropical cyclone advisory package. One of these products is the Tropical Cyclone Discussion (TCD), which describes the reasoning behind the forecaster's analysis and forecast of a tropical cyclone. It will typically discuss the observations justifying the analyzed intensity of the cyclone, a description of the environmental factors expected to influence the cyclone's future track and intensity, and a description of the numerical guidance models. It may also describe the forecaster's degree of confidence in the official forecast, discuss possible alternate scenarios, and highlight unusual hazards. The product also includes a table of forecast positions and intensities out to 120 h. An example of the TCD is given below.
NHC is soliciting feedback from users on whether the current form and content of the TCD meets their needs. Suggestions for improvements in the product are welcome, and you may submit the feedback form located below the following example.\

Just passing this along. I personally think the TCDs are fine...they are meant for meteorologists, and not the general public, however I love reading them because it shows a lot of insight into how the forecast was made and the reasoning for it. It can get technical at times, and I'm sure some people will try to get them to change it to get rid of the technical terms and break it down barney-style (that's why there is a public advisory!), instead of taking the time to learn what everything means (that's calling being lazy!).
If I could learn it at the age of 11, certainly you can, too! (was 11 when I really started paying attention to the NHC back in 2002, moved back to NC from Va). Likewise, got a question? Then ask! The site does have a section for weather related questions...and to all you lurkers, feel free to join and add your $0.02 in!
