Models can be very useful for hurricane forecasting, but over the years, some of these models have produced results that can sometimes question the laws of atmospheric science themselves. Perhaps some of you are aware, for example, that the HMON models drastically overestimated Hurricane Irma, at one point saying it would landfall near Key West with a pressure of 858 mb.

I found this through a website that shows the results of all model runs of almost every cyclone worldwide since 2003. Here’s the link for anyone interested:       http://hurricanes.ral.ucar.edu/repository/data/adecks_open/

I’ve created this thread so that everyone could share some insane or simply unexpected model runs that they’ve found. The format for the model runs is complicated, so here’s another link that explains it:   http://hurricanes.ral.ucar.edu/realtime/index.php#about_adecks

Have fun!
