Are the Hurricane forecasts ever accurate?

The forecasts where they predict the position and course of the hurricanes...are they ever accurate? Like this

How often are any weather predictions perfectly accurate? The predictions are 'guides' for people to be aware of the potential weather.

Well, the predictions about Katrina turned out to be pretty accurate.

1-3 day predictions are usually fairly accurate.

After that point the unknown weather patterns kick in.

Notice those predictions include a margin of error (the projected path is much larger than the actual storm).

Will it be somewhere in that projected path? Most likely.
