AccuWeather Hurricane Summit: Joe Bastardi
Bastardi utilized these methods in 2005 to become the first to accurately predict the path of Hurricane Katrina and the formation and path of Hurricane Rita. Bastardi and his team also began warning of the storm that would later become Hurricane Humberto as early as four days before the National Hurricane Center (NHC) first acknowledged weather conditions conducive for the development of the storm.
