Why the US Government won't let you see its best tool for forecasting hurricanes www.washingtonpost.com/weather/2024...

The HCCA model produced superior two-day and three-day track forecasts to the Hurricane Center during Ian, the devastating Category 4 hurricane that struck Florida in late September 2022. That hurricane was particularly hard to predict, and better track forecasts could have improved evacuation decisions and saved lives. But because of agreements with a vendor, NOAA has refused to release the model's results to the public. With a massive storm headed toward a U.S. landfall this week, critics of the agreement argue taxpayer-funded forecasts should be freely and openly available. They say the model's forecast could be highlighted in television and online graphics as one of the more reliable scenarios given its track record.
