I truly hope everyone understands we dont need 20 storms to have a bad year,we can have 10/8/4 and if we have 4 major hurricanes slam in major cities then 2006 probably will go down being worse then 2005!Remember it only takes one.....

Let's see if there are a few more votes for this poll as the end of May outlook by the Colorado State University folks will be released in less than a week.

I think they will stay the same, or at least very close to the same.

I voted he will leave them the same. 16-18 named storms is what I think we will have this year.

I still think he's too high. SSTs in the Pacific are almost the same as last year. I.E., no La Nina of significance. SSTs in the Atlantic are definitely cooler. Bermuda high is stronger (more shear). ITCZ much farther south for the end of May (not many early season - june/july storms). Might see one or possibly 2 named storms before the 2nd week of August and a lot fewer October storms this year.

Lower, as I have done with my numbers. I think a lot of people are still riding on the huge numbers coming off of last season, and I think something in the 15-17 range seems likely (even though 17 wouldn't be a drop).

I really don't know whether Dr. Gray should raise or lower his numbers, what i do know is that it does'nt really matter.Last year when Rita was taking aim at the western gulf coast me and my family was absolutely terrified, and i gave no thought at that time to any of the seasonal forecast. I was way too busy getting my family and home prepared.That's why Max Mayfield continues to hammer the fact that it only takes one to hit one of our areas to make it a bad season.

All is expectation about how the forecast of the end of May will be like in terms of the numbers and about the steering pattern.In a matter of hours we will know so stay tuned to Talking Tropics forum as the information about the forecast will be posted first here than in other boards around the net.The Colorado State University outlook will be posted at a new thread and not in this one.As soon as the outlook is released this poll will close.
