Overwarning is difficult to avoid in hurricane forecasting.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Overwarning is a common approach taken by hurricane forecasters as the consequences of not warning people can be severe. It is better to warn people of a potential hurricane even if it doesn't end up being as severe as predicted, than to not warn them and put them in danger. However, this can lead to overwarning and a lack of trust in forecasters if hurricanes do not end up being as severe as initially forecasted.
