User blog:Hurricane Layten/NHC Budget Cuts

OK, I have noticed this on Force 13's Discord server, posted by Jason, our technical guy, who sets us up for live events, as well as keeping us up to date on the latest developments:

The following models have been discontinued by NWS/NHC:
 * Beta Advection (BAM)
 * Limited Barotropic (LBAR)
 * Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory (GFDL)

This is part of the budget cut. The budget cut also includes the rejection of using Invest Guidances for 2017.

This message occurred at 1145 AM EDT Mon Apr 10 2017, so more information is to follow. The NHC Conference occurs next week so that'll provide more detail on this.

This means that the NHC has had to drop 3 of its major models, along with the new Invest Guidance for the 2017 hurricane season.
