| #2 The Natl Hurr Center did poorly with this one. The rapid intensification (from about 60 mph to 160 mph peak winds in 24 hours) was not forecast and none of the numerical models warned about this. The storm was small (which makes for fewer analytical calculations) and in addition, there were no functioning Doppler radars in Acapulco and some of the satellites weren't hitting near enough to the center of the storm to get best data. |
