CREATE A HURRICANE. AND AS WE KNOW THAT GFS IS OUR GLOBAL FORECASTING SYSTEM, WHICH HELPS YOU PREDICT THE WEATHER. BUT THOSE LONG-TERM MODELS CAN BE A LITTLE BIT HARDER TO PREDICT, RIGHT? BECAUSE THEY CHANGE SO OFTEN. THEY CAN FLUCTUATE GREATLY. THE ONE THAT I SAW THIS MORNING HAD A TROPICAL SYSTEM GOING INTO TEXAS A WEEK FROM THIS THURSDAY. BUT AGAIN, THOSE LONG RANGE MODELS, WE LOOK AT THEM AND WE KEEP OUR EYES ON THAT STUFF. BUT THE BEST THING TO DO JUST STAY WITH US HERE ON WDSU.
