Tropical Major Hurricane Laura

Man, I have never seen any models handle tropical systems well more than 48 hours out. I don’t even pay serious attention until we are 24-48 hours out. They are just as bad if not worse than how they are with handling winter weather. Some interesting times ahead though.

Excerpt from an article posted on WRAL in NC today. Elizabeth Gardner was the author of the article. I haven't seen this possibility mentioned in here so I thought it was an interesting possibility.

the models are not bad just because they go from CAT5 to tropical storm the margin of error is like 50 miles of being over land/mountains or hot water. It’s just not clear cut and every wobble/trend is gonna matter soon on whether it avoids a lot of land or not .
