Thanks AWD, your evaluation is really useful, the model thread is so full of differing opinions it is too hard to follow.
What I really don't understand is that Ian F told everyone that the charts would be all over the place, yet it's doom & gloom and extreme highs dependant on the particular run, but these runs were expected weren't they? Also how can there be so much doom and gloom when we are talking about a weather system that is a week away. I may be a rank amateur but even I know that anything beyond T96 is subject to a lot of change, so why the in-fighting over something that is still in fl?
Thanks again
