Reminder that NHC won't use line in graphics this year, just the cone.

I'm personally against this change. I like the line. The cone is actually founded upon the line, with the line have the highest probability and probabliities diminishing as you move away from the line, which is in fact the center of the cone. But the NHC says that too many people just look at the line, and I know that there is a margin of error in forecasting. So I guess now I'll just look at the cone and try to estimate where the center line might be. If the NHC doesn't post the line, then I assume that local stations and the networks will walk in lock step with them, and not post it either. Here's the article.
