I understand the 36 hr. timeframe guidance. But 50% confidence in meeting warning criteria??
The deterministic ECM is the only model minimally meeting warning criteria for most of Augusta and no model does for Nelson or Albermarle. GFS 2.5", GEM 1.3", NAM 1.5".
But, as you say, they can always downgrade to an Advisory and they will unless a radical change occurs with the models.
