So many sources and models for hurricane predictions. . .


Yale Climate Connections says “. . . you should ignore [the many hurricane models] in favor of the National Hurricane Center forecast.”

That's right. YCC, in The most reliable hurricane models, based on their 2021 performance asserts, “it is very difficult for any one model to consistently beat the NHC forecasts for track and for intensity.” That's about all in this article that I understand (!). For the people with skills, the rest of the YCC article should be interesting, as will the sources of free model data provided toward the end.
