If you recall, NOAA did not start this. I think the NHC was reluctant to get into this business of a seasonal forecast. But, given all of the attention that the MSM gave Dr. Gray, they bowed to public pressure. The simple fact is that they (NHC) is completely aware of how the MSM is going to hype and distort the meaning of their product. Having been in the weather business for over 35 years, I know that anything I tell the media will inevitably be misrepresented either for ratings or simply due to ignorance. In an attempt to find the perfect sound-bite or headline accuracy is sacrificed for convenience.
