The following statement in the article seems questionable, especially based on forecasts for the 2005 hurricane season: "He has become well-known for his surprisingly accurate long-range forecasts."

Accuweather just got some free publicity on the Bob King blog for their 2006 hurricane season forecast, in spite of their inaccurate mid-season 2005 forecast ( http://www.insurancejournal.com/news/southeast/2005/07/28/57684.htm? ) Margie 18:52, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

"...believe you should forecast whatever you feel at that moment..." Is inaccurate. Much studying of weather maps and other meteorological data by Mr. Bastardi OR any other forecaster who really makes a forecast i.e., “forecast for Northern NJ is for 10 to 15 inches of snow” is more than the nonsense statement “at the moment”.

Accuracy is/was spelled incorrectly in the opening paragraph. Funny that the writer slams Bastardi for his grammatical errors. This article sounds completely biased against him. Wyglaf 17:25, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Citations needed

This article is seriously in need of citations, given WP:Biographies of living persons. It appears that it's currently just a lot of OR, and given that he's alive, we need to be extra cautious. I say this coming into the article with very little knowledge of who Joe Bastardi is, by the way, so I have no biases toward or against his forecasts and style. -- 129.255.93.180 21:18, 17 September 2007 (UTC)
