Thanks for the info. Usually the NWS and local stations get a heads up on this stuff.

That's because they call into TPC ahead of time.

Please remember to NEVER call anything official until the NHC actualy makes it official

Exactly - there is only one source for such exacting guidance - the NHC.

True... but 99.9% of the time the NRL calls it correctly right before the NHC makes it official.

This could be the 0.01% but I doubt it... based on the west wind.

It's because they sit in on the teleconference that happens at 4 EDT/3 CDT...the NHC tells you at 3 (my time at least)...what they are going to do with the system...intensity...watches/warnings...and track. So...the NRL knows because the NHC has already said it.The times they are wrong is when the NHC changes their mindsb/w 3 CDT and advisory time.
