The Alley doesn't have a perfect track record, but they're not bad either. I'm not saying I agree with their May outlook or not (since no one provided the link), so I gotta look it up and see what they're talking about.

When is IndependentWX coming out with their forecast?

Don't forget, it's hurricanealley.net not .com (.com is one of those phony sites, but I had to laugh at their "The Web's #1 site for Hurricane Information." /yeah whatever

So the Alley is calling for 2.x storms including 1 IH for N FL with very few IH storm hours. Louisiana is 50% shot for a storm as is Texas. Their genesis maps and landfall writeups were better before they became a PPV site. This isn't saying anything.

That's my question too. There are hardly any pre-season forecasts this year compared to the last two years. Not even notices of when they will be available.

Yep, considering the Upper Texas Coast is mislabeled "Northeast Texas"


Does that drive you nuts as well? Northeast Texas is Longview, etc. It doesn't seem that difficult.


Yep, one of my biggest pet peeves....seems to happen a lot.

Well if you consider Texas as part of Ole Mexico it Northeast. J/J :lol:

It does not make much sense to me. I wish they would of did it like last year. And do red for highest risk, orange for medium risk and yellow for lowest risk. They had SE LA and MS in the red for most of last year. I just don't get that crazy chart. They have Louisiana getting 4.0 storm hours but no hurricane and no major hurricane. So, I guess they are thinking that we will be hit, but by only a tropical storm. I hope we don't get hit at all because everyone needs a huge break. And it basically says that Texas will get at least 1 hurricane hit. And they also have the Carolinas getting hit by a hurricane.
