How many times do you think FL will get hit this season?

[Opal storm]

Any guesses?

I say 6 storms.2 T.S,4 hurricanes,2 of them major.

[Astro_man92]

Alot

[cjrciadt]

Too many times, anything above 1.

[CHRISTY]

wow....well iam thinking it will all depend on many factors... theres to many of course but iam gonna say two that i think will be important first were will the famous bermuda high be this year and and i am thinking shear and ocean temps and before i forget troughs there usually are friends which kick hurricanes away.

[Derek Ortt]

troughs are not Florida's friend

most of Florida's impacts come from between the SSE to the SW, meaning a trough is needed to bring a storm into Sfla

[CHRISTY]

i mean if we have a strong capeverde season troughs often kick hurricanes out to see...

[Audrey2Katrina]

For whatever it's worth, I'll say three: at least one of which will come from the Gulf side.

A2K

[mike815]

one at least i think fl will continue to be hit during this very active seasons with at least one type of tropical system.

[CHRISTY]

true..i agree

[CHRISTY]

but i think this year we here in south florida might see a big one not seen since 1992 hurricane andrew hopefully iam wrong but well see.

[JonathanBelles]

i thimk this is tampa's big year and there will be 2 ts's and 1 other hurricane

[Tampa Bay Hurricane]

i thimk this is tampa's big year and there will be 2 ts's and 1 other hurricane

Noooo!!!! Don't say THAT!!!!

[Tampa Bay Hurricane]

If this winter heat wave is indicative (80s coast and 90s in isolated interior
areas today)- I think 3-5 times...several major
hurricanes.

[Extremeweatherguy]

well since I will be in Florida for most of June through August/September, then I guess I will have to experience all that Florida gets this season,which will probably be many storms. I predict one minimal hurricane into the panhandle, one major into the east coast, a tropical storm into Tampa, and a major into the keys. There will probably also be many "near misses"

[Astro_man92]

Hmm ... this is what i feel without any information to sway my opinion

Sub-Hurricanes
TD: 0
TS: 1-3

Minior-Hurricanes
Cat1: 1-2
Cat2: 0-1

Major-Hurricanes
Cat3: 0-1
Cat4: 0-2

Super-Hurricanes
Cat5: 0-2

Total: 2-10

though definatley not 10


Anfter information to sway my opinion

I have no idea

[T'Bonz]

Bonz's prediction:

Category 2 (strong, almost a 3), hitting S. Florida in September. Female name.

Last year, I knew we'd get something after Katrina. Keep feeling that something bigger was coming.

And I feel that we're getting something this year.

I'd love to be wrong. I'm hurricaned-out.

[JonathanBelles]

I'd love to be wrong. I'm hurricaned-out.

everybody is

[Hybridstorm_November2001]

If I had to guess. I'd say a few more than this year, because I think there will be slighly more storms:


7 over all.

3 Hurricanes

2 Tropical storms

2 of those 3 Hurricanes will be Major Hurricanes.

[Terrell]

I would hope that FL doesn't get hit at all, but that's likely too good to be true. So I'll say about 3 TS/TD, 3 hurricanes 1 of which is Cat 3+

[mike815]

yeah fl sticks out so do the carolinas with these active patterns fl does and will get hit frequently from TS TD Hurricanes all of it
