Geeminy christmas! What an extreme. How the hell are you supposed to draw any conclusion from this BS "any extreme is possibull" forecast?

Wait a minute. I think I feel a 5-10Knot wind. That's gonna equate to 5-7 foot seas! Holy cheet batman! Huh? Has NOAA gone whacko lately?
Help!!

you do pay for this with your tax dollar:

http://www.nws.noaa.gov/om/marine/atlantic.htm

go to this page (and book mark itin your computer) , scroll down to the forecast for Cape Hatteras - ocracoke inlet and click on the hyper text.

you do realize that basically all other forecasters just repeat what the NWS puts out. Probaly cause the NWS owns most of the weather satellites.
