We, of all people, considering the NG should be supporting the MO.

Jim,

It was a poor forecast, from an organisation which is constantly using PR to
harp on about how much more accurate they are now than 50 years ago (which
is somewhat true) and how climate change is being well forecast by their
huge computers, not being able to forecast a storm track a few hours in
advance is pathetic and it will be a long time before the public forget this
one.

On a lighter note, I wonder whether any experts here feel that there is
justification for a higher resolution monitoring grid in the Atlantic now?.
I know QuikScat was supposed to assist in the collection of data from sparse
areas but is there justification to take this further?

Well done to the GFS which detected the change of track on Saturday 00z run.
