Hours of operation during the Hurricane Season:
M-F: 9:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m.
Sat – Sun: *Closed
The office will be closed on weekends, unless there is an active system pending. Hours will then be modified as to whether I will be in the monitoring mode, or as to whether or not a forecast and/or updates are warranted.
Hours during the week are in general, and will be modified based on medical appointments, school functions, etc., and may be shortened based on these factors, or extended if numerous updates are required. (Please note, I am not constantly at my desk during the day, as I have commitments and errands as everyone does).
The actual forecast day begins around 5:00 a.m. – 6:00 a.m. with analysis of many numerous forecasting tools. Once the final synopsis is posted, and I have issued copies to the remainder of my clientele, I will be able to field any questions.
Thank you,
“Storm”
Wow! What a find! I really appreciate your efforts in bringing concise, clear and factual reporting and prognostication. Between this site and hurricanesfotware.com, I stay up to date. Looks like Irene could have been much worse, for once people heeded the authorities’ orders.
Regards from Well Done Dallas (Still in the oven, we were hoping Irene would come this way and maybe bust up this big High which has tormented us so.)
Get well soon!
Yours for Better Television,

When are you going to post an updated forecast?
Please correct that to “ResponseForce1″ Thanks!
Storm, I’ve been following you since Katrina. As a first respire, I’ve trusted your comments and opinions, and they’ve served my team well.
If Irene hits Long Island dead on, any estimates of storm surge potential, based on the time of day / tides? I have family there, so want to be ready.
Best,

I’ll take a look when I can.
Thanks everyone…I love all of you!
I will have an update out in about 30-40.
Eddie…right now, until I see the tides (only goes out to 24 hours prior to hitting L.I. I would say 6-8 ft based on the SLOSH model data I just ran.
From sunny Houston-by-the-sea – Thanks for keeping it real.
Too bad I didn’t know your local back when I spent time with my parents in Highland Lakes. I’ve been down Curlew Road and Old Tampa Road more times than I can count.
Hi Storm,
I used to follow your posts on WU. Thank you for maintaining this blog and for keeping us so well informed. Several on WU have been asking for your info. I posted the link yesterday and they deleted my post for “violating community standards”. HA! HA! I was shocked!
Wishing you the best throughout the remainder of this hurricane season.
