Always informative, always entertaining.
I couldn’t get it to “unmute”. Strange.
I’ve always loved Joe. Even moreso since he got away from Joel Myers and Accuweather.
Joe actually signed on to the lawsuit against the ncaa as an ex-athlete (wrestler), while Myers (corrupt b.o.t. member) continues to allow the University’s reputation to be besmirched by the media.
Go Joe!
Interesting following Dorian on Storm2K this AM. Seems one model has it making a comeback and landing itself near Miami as a Cat 1 storm.
Strange. I’ve not had trouble with it. Is your browser blocking access to it?
No, but I did have flashplayer updated half an hour ago.
As I said, strange.
This opens up in Quicktime, which is my favorite player.
“Error, video not decoded.”
Whatever that means...
Did the link work?
Thanks, that links works.
Great stuff from Joe.
Good. Thanks for letting me know.
Yes, that quicktime link did. Thank you very much.
There is no Dorian, just as Joe predicted on his Saturday forecast. A new “low” has come up in the old Dorian vicinity.
If Bastardi tells you a hen dips snuff, you don’t need to look under her wing for the bottle.
Either he has uncanny understanding of weather or he just loves the game of weather so much, but if there is anyone better I have never seen em.
His Saturday Forecast is a definite look forward to thing.
Well, I realize I should have said “Dorian Remnants”. And I agree no one is better. Jen Carfagno is certainly cuter, but no one is better than Joe.
Looks like there well may be Dorian II. We’ll see, but the NHC puts it at 50% now. Seems to have a pretty defined center and warm waters ahead. Shows that we always need to stay on alert.

One of the main factors as to why Joe knows so much and understands so much is that he as been studying the recorded weather history since he was a young boy. These include histories of weather patterns, storms, and the weather in general since the first reliable recorded data was archived.
He then uses this phenomenal amount of information to form what are called the "analogs." These are common (and sometimes uncommon) repeating patterns that have manifested themselves in history. From these he can often predict what is coming "next" and the hows and whys of it, often far better than the latest computer based models.
As a made-up example, he will say in the middle of the winter: "This January and February are going to be like they were in 1965 for the East Coast because this Summer in the ridge stayed over the Rockies for 3 months like it did in the Summer of 1965." He is using the analogous behavior of the current year to the same patterns that he saw recorded (or in some cases remembers from his own experiences) from the past.
He is definitely a sharp guy.
To do most anything best it can be done often requires to let that be your life.
Happy he’s back in public at least on his Saturday online show.
