I'm uncertain of the relevance of whether it's the same program or not - these are six different forecasts based upon whatever different variables and
historic information are being used with each.

I think NOAA is really missing the boat not including the Nomad model, what with all the forecasters here, but without our Amateur Junior Associate
Part Time Meteorologist (DavidE) we're lacking somewhat!

I have found this stormsurfing site to be very accurate...Woody has predicted these storms when they were mere puffs...they must have a top of the
line crystal ball eh!
So many storms follow this patter...the first few projections have it coming straight for us in Asuncion...then they get sucked over eastward by the
high seatemps in the gulf..passing over Mag Bay and nailing the Mulege area with rain...ruh roh.
