Just to let you guys know...their forecast DID Horribly last year...check out some of their predictions for 2005:
"August 26th Typically, there will be more named storms this period. The first is a low pressure weather system off the east coast of the states developing perhaps at the Bahamas/Miami and cruises up through Cape Hatteras, eventually affecting Southern New England. The other system has its eye on Puerto Rico and the islands. The Gulf coasts look clear of storms this period."
^^Katrina hit on the 29th of August...not quite a "clear Gulf coast". Also...what is up with the storm in the Bahamas and the other in the islands? Did those ever happen during late August? No.^^
"September 11th. This is not a good week for Florida and the panhandle. There is a threat coming into the area with very strong winds attached. Perigee also occurs Sept. 16th. This storm may have just tropical indications for a while, even if land falling, it will do some windy/wet damage. However, the storm buildup I have found could actually strike in this next period. Windy thunderstorms for Texas. The Carolinas will have seasonable weather."
^^I do not remember any major tropical events in Fl during this period^^
"October 25th This week will have definite rain problems. This time of the season can bring severe tropical rains to the Caribbean and also to the Central America countries and Mexico. Remember Mitch? This is one week to pay attention to where the rain is headed. Cold fronts from the north may be trying to push south against the warm southern air as the season slowly gives up tropical influences. Rainy conditions along the central Gulf coast are expected."
^^looks like they forgot to mention Wilma.^^
