How about another hurricane tracking thread? This one is for "Ike" and I'm going to do it a little bit differently. At least, I HOPE it works like this...
I saved the current image for the predicted track as of the update at 8PM EDT Sunday. I put that image into my Photobucket account. That's the first image that you see and it shouldn't change.
Just below it is the image from the Hurricane Center that refreshes with every update. It will be the current predicted track at the time you check this post. It could potentially change several times per day.
That will give everybody a chance to come back to this thread after every update and see how far off the forecasters were in predicting the track. They were pretty accurate with Gustav, but sometimes they miss by 500 miles when storms are this far out and have to go over a land mass the size of Cuba.
Remember:
The first image is the track as predicted on Sunday night. The second one is the predicted track that refreshes several times per day and will be the most current prediction at the time you check this post.
