For three straight simulations, NOAA’s Global Forecast System (GFS) model has tracked a tropical system right over the Florida peninsula through or close to Tampa just as the Republican National Convention is ramping up. Assuming this system - presently a little swirl in the open Atlantic - strengthens some, it will be named Isaac.

Before anyone gets alarmed or excited, consider forecasts of the path and intensity of tropical systems this far out have essentially no skill. As our tropical weather specialist Brian McNoldy said earlier: “In the 5-7 day period and beyond, weather details become fairly unpredictable.”

If this model defeats the long odds against it and is somehow right, organizers say they’re ready for the possibility of a hurricane Isaac during the convention according to a report from ABC News.

A hurricane would probably hit both. Tampa and Charlotte would line up in a path.

Forecasts and models are very unpredictable, and yet they want us to buy into the global warming scam.

Looks like it will be farther out in the Gulf but it will still be a shit loda of rain.

Who gives a shit about the fucking RNC. There are thousands of others who could be affected by the storm.

Yes, those are the 99 percenters though so, they don't count...

Pat Robertson thinks God controls the weather (and has caused the drought in the U.S. this summer).
