Instead, just use a link to the forecast graphics page; this way, one can also see the intensity forecast graphic as well (or the track forecast graphics... in any event, the entire forecast).
The reason I ask this is that it caused some confusion on the web last year during Frances as to whether or not this was a mets forecast (which it was... Cangialosi's), or a model forecast
This is a really good point. In addition to being bad netiquette, hotlinking can remove important context.

I'm going to ask again, please do not allow hotlinking.
At home, I DO NOT HAVE A HIGH SPEED CONNECTION! Hotlinking these 300kb photos is not only awful netiquitte, but the pages load at incredibly slow speeds, making the experience less enjoyable. A simple link gets the point across just as effectively

I prefer a link also, it makes the page so big you have to slide it back and forth to read!

We'll enforce any anti hot-links to sites that request it like you've done. Unfortunately we don't check each image link to see where it's from. All we can do is respond when it's reported.
