How will the GOM be in terms of Tropical Activity in 2006?

[cycloneye]

This poll is in general terms about what you think about the GOM being active,moderate active or not active that includes homegrown and systems moving into the GOM from the Caribbean.

I say it will be a moderate activity 2006 season for the GOM.

Dont forget to participate in the official Storm2k forecast numbers poll starting on March 15.

I would bet on a highly active GOM season again this year seeing alot of storms.

I think that we see at least one memorable storm in the Gulf this year that makes landfall as a Cat. 4 or stronger. Along with that I also feel that we see many TS and Cat. 1-3 landfalls up and down the east coast as well as along Texas and the western FL peninsula.

Let's see, 2004 was bad, 2005 was even worse, 2006...? I just DON'T have a good feeling about this years hurricane season. I think it will be very active once again with multiple gulf storms. This active period isn't just going to go away folks... .

Also I've noticed a westward trend in major hurricane landfalls (or borderline cat 2s, same thing really) the past two years. Ex: Ivan (AL/FL) Katrina (LA/MS) Rita (LA/TX). Watch out Texas this year, just my personal prediction.

I agree. 1 major for the gulf with 2+ weaker systems. TX and WFL would be a good bet.

Can you add "low activity in GOM" to the poll, Luis?

I think the Not Active GOM option at poll is a good one,no need to change the wording.

Nope.
No activity.
Ain't gonna happen.
No way `Jose.
No thanks.
Not here.
Not now.
Not then.
Not ever.
Never ever.
I don't think so.

Guess y'all can see how I voted.....

[wxmann_91]

No way `Jose.

Wasn't Jose in the BOC, which is technically part of the GOM?

[skysummit]

I'm thinking it will be another active Gulf season. Somewhere between the Yucatan and the Keys will get one for sure

I would like Florida and the Northern Gulf coast a break this year from the 2006 hurricane season. Anyone second that?

[Javlin]

I voted moderate meaning 1-2 named systems with an outside chance maybe 3.

Where will the Bermuda High setup this year is the million dollar question?

[HURAKAN]

The Gulf of Mexico is just a synonym of high tropical activity.

Personally... I would like to see two or three tropical storms or depressions make landfall along the southern Texas coast. Given the right recurvature and the ample moisture, that would be WONDERFUL for those living in central Texas, Oklahoma, western Arkansas, southeastern Kansas, and southwestern Missouri.
