Great quotes include our favorite forecaster "I really could care less which is the better model because we have access to them both," said James Franklin, branch chief of the hurricane specialist unit. "It's immaterial to us."

And from Cliff Mass at University of Washington "Let me be blunt: the state of operational U.S. numerical weather prediction is an embarrassment to the nation, and it does not have to be this way"

Are we entering a weather modeling arms race?  If we are, we all win!
