I am going to talk about Ike here.
Notice anything in these images...
The models forecast (which is basically the NHC forecast), predict something that has never happened before. The climatology shows the track of tropical cyclones close to Ike's current location. All of them recurve. It should be interesting what actually happens. The model's are in good agreement so its hard to say anything about the current forecast, but its just a little unusual.
Just for kicks, heres the 7-day HPC forecast: http://www.hpc.ncep.noaa.gov/medr/day7nav.html (cant get the image to load)
It shows Ike located just off the tip of Yucatan with a trough a low pressure that should pick it up and pull it north. Should be a fun couple of weeks.
