One of the biggest surprises to me during this past Atlantic hurricane season was just how good the forecast models were. One of the biggest surprises was the new (to me) Google DeepMind AI model, which did an amazing job of forecasting the path of the storms this year and did well at predicting intensity changes as well. This is where previous models have not performed well, so it is really promising for future years. Here is an article published by iWeatherNet.com that describes the new model and its strengths and weaknesses. If you want to know more about how hurricane forecasting is done, this will be of great interest to you.
