Would someone let me know what Joe is thinking for the week ahead? I am on the coast of southeastern NC and am looking at everything -- watching and waiting -- which is all we can do.

He's done his best to avoid making an actual Frances forecast, while making it appear in his columns he's made a Frances forecast.

Probably too busy trying to find one molecule of oxygen in Gaston that was moving at a sustained speed of 75.0000000001 mph at landfall to actually make a Frances call.

No doubt whatever he is forecasting is a worst-case scenario. :eek:

I guess he will get around to a prediction just before landfall.

Wouldn't that be 74.881? :lol:

It'd be a lot easier to find that than 75.0000000001

We only slam the forecasts...we don't actually make them. Then we might be....acountable for bad forecasts like JB!
