How good is a Windyty forecast? Storm heading for the Cape?
I was checking for their track forecast for Harvey, and saw this prediction for the Baja Cape four days out!
https://www.windy.com/?2017-09-01-00,20.982,-108.809,5
I don't know how to post a screen grab, or if that is even the right term for showing what is in the link!

I think attention has to be paid to all indicators, given whats going on..The same storm is now shown by the NHC, on a Northern path with an 80%
chance of getting ugly..

I'm not sure about the windy site and rely more on eebmike.com.
It will be interesting to compare what happens between the two sites.
I'm stocked up. Thanks Meany
I have been playing on the Windy site and I like the forecast models. You can click on the day and time.

eebmike is a great consolidator of info, but ultimately the info is from NOAA/NHC. That's the case with most weather sites. So, there is probably not
much difference.
If you want to see multiple predictions of ALREADY FORMED STORMS (TD, TS, HURRICANES), you can look at the computer model page on Weather Underground.
This page, at times, seems to become inactive once a storm makes landfall. It is listed in this collection of pages. I think the WU grouping is the
best source in one place for this. Not as "pretty" as windyty, granted. To access the overall Hurricane and Tropical Cyclone page on WU, go here. It
will show all formed storms and invests on a clickable map of the world. Just not much activity right at the moment.
https://www.wunderground.com/hurricane
Here is the main page for TS (formerly hurricane) Harvey, in Texas. Notice the clickable options at the bottom. The computer track page is not valid
in this case. But if it were earlier in the life of Harvey, it would have shown about five potential tracks generated by five separate computer
programs. There is currently no valid computer track page on any storm, as we are between formed hurricanes, worldwide.

I have found windy site to be quite accurate and use it alot...combined with Buoyweather for local stuff...it usually is accurate for wave height and
wind.
I think it will get rather nasty around the tip...it may get sucked over to the warm water and go up the inside or spine so we probably wont even get
rain here...but it may go all schizoid and half of it go up the gulf and the other half come up the outside grazing our shores with a big butt swell
and wind...I think I will get the plywood ready juuuuust in case. If I was around the tip or Mag Bay area I would definitely be preparing for some
weather and if I had travel plans there....I would seriously think about cancelling...unless it is a storm watching trip of course!

hmmm....that storm is weird...sure looks like even we may get some rain...maybe I wont bet a pack on no rain! Looks like Mulege may get some as the
storm sort of goes from the gulf over the spine to the Pacific...the mid peninsula may get real wet this weekend.

I use Windy all the time everyday for fishing San Diego/Baja. It is accurate for a few days in advance, but since patterns change, the 3-7 day
forecast are just indicators, but are good to know.

this will be a warm up..dress rehearsal.
because is it a widespread system it may dump rain over a longer period and area...lets hope it moves fast so not much flooding occurs.

We might squeeze in a kamikazee fishing trip on saturday and head home in the afternoon ahead of the storm. Aint afraid of a little rain. Sailflow is
showing BdeLA winds pretty light, all things considered.

Its now saying that lil sucker will cause life threatening floods and mudslides over Baja, regardless if it forms into a hurricane..Better do your
laundry Shari, so Juan has clean britches..

that's what I thought when I saw how discombobulated this system looks...lots of rain perhaps...one full day of rain will cause massive flooding in
these parts!

My original post was about the forecast reliability, and it showed the projected path on Thursday. If you advance the date a couple of days, it still
looks pretty troublesome!
If you are not living on the edge, you are taking up too much space!

Tropical Weather Outlook
NWS National Hurricane Center Miami FL
1100 AM PDT Mon Aug 28 2017
For the eastern North Pacific...east of 140 degrees west longitude:
1. An elongated area of low pressure centered about a couple of
hundred miles south of Manzanillo, Mexico, is producing widespread
disorganized showers and thunderstorms. Environmental conditions
are forecast to be conducive for development, and this system is
expected to become a tropical cyclone within two or three days while
it moves generally northward or northwestward near the coast of
southwestern Mexico and Baja California Sur. Residents in those
areas should monitor the progress of this system, and tropical
storm watches could be required for a portion of the area on
Tuesday. Regardless of development, very heavy rain is expected in
southwestern Mexico and Baja California Sur over the next few days
and could cause life-threatening flash floods and mudslides.
* Formation chance through 48 hours...medium...60 percent.
* Formation chance through 5 days...high...90 percent.
