==Added topic year headers==
''18-Aug-2008:'' I have added the headers "Topics from 2006" (etc.) as on other talk pages, to help keep the topics sorted by date, but fortunately this was a small talk-page, so I ''didn't'' need to move several topics into date order (other talk-pages have had topics scrambled across 6 years). -[[User:Wikid77|Wikid77]] ([[User talk:Wikid77|talk]]) 18:01, 18 August 2008 (UTC)
== Better report page needed ==
We, the public in coastal states, are intensely interested in current data and detailed predictive information whenever a hurricane threatens our coast.
We need this page to provide or point to site that provides a map representing the results of each computer model prediction of storm path of an active hurricane or tropical storm. It would be ideal if Clipper and all the global models were included, and as many as possible of the rest. The list in this article is excellent. If as many of these models could be included in a graph, it could be ideal.
It would help us greatly if each model could be represented on the map with a line graphic of a distinct highly visible color easily differentiated from the others.
It would help if the map could be followed by a key linking color of line graphic to model. The key could also indicate when each model was last run. The key could provide a thumbnail of each model's current result with a link to click through to a page for that model for more detail on current and recent results and the model itself.
The map and key should be followed by a discussion starting with all appropriate disclaimers.
Failing all that, a fallback would be a page giving links to each model, with the most accurate ones toward the top.
