I wouldn't be surprised if we had one in January either (given that Zeta missed forming in January by 2 days). Hope we don't though.

Heck 2006 may produce 50 named storms. With 30 hurricanes and 10 Majors. 4 cat5s in a 1,000 foot tsunumi into the East coast.

But any way what can we do? :eek:

I am quite tempted to say Jan or Feb considering how the 2005 season looks to have no intention of throwing in the towel. Another Zeta in that time frame is possible.....MGC

If that comes even close to verifying, I'm moving to Siberia. :eek:

well the 10 majors and 4 cat5s isnt far off from this year... in fact 4 cat5s is possible if they bump Emily up

sheesh its getting harder and harder to exaggerate possible outcomes without running into "it happened"

I predict Alberto will form this month... with another one before June 1st...

I voted April because it appears the Atlantic SSTs are just not going to cool off.

I voted April, I think we'll have some colder temps in the Atlantic in February and early March before warming up again.

well with the record warmth lately, the waters are not cooling off any time soon, mild winter may equal active hurricane season, just a little food for thought

I voted May...but it could happen earlier. The weirdest thing would be to see it form like in February and then make landfall as a weak storm. It would be weird to see the on air mets saying "tropical storm warning". Also, a winter tropical storm hitting the gulf would likely pull down some bitter cold air after it passed (haha it would be funny to see a tropical storm that ended as snow).

Actually, SST anomalies in the Atlantic have cooled hugely in the past few weeks, while Pacific SST anomalies have warmed up. It looks like neutral conditions, at the very least, are trying to develop. If this continues, an El Nino may be possible.

So is that a good or bad thing. It could be bad because then we may not get the conditions again for a while to produce another exciting and record breaking season such as 2005. But it could be good because then there would be less of a chance of a landfall. Wow I just noticed each of the 3 Cat 5's Had the same wind speed, had at least two landfalls, went throught the gulf, hit florida, and broke at least one record. Well so is this potential El Niño a good? or bad thing?
