NHC needs to put the floaters on something that has a chance to develop like ex TD 2 and Invest 93L. :grr:

They should move it regardless of what day it is. Ex TD 2 is near land for crying out loud. :roll:

Chill y'all. The request went in early this evening. It should be refocused in the morning. There is simply no one available to move the floaters over the weekend -- so I've been told by those in charge.

Could someone explain the preocces of moving a floater? Shouldnt it just be as easy as zooming into an area? Or is it another sat?

The problem is the weather forecasters are working 24/7, but the computer guys running the floaters and whatnot have evenings and weekends off. I know this from experience.
