How many more Hurricanes/tropical storms will we see?

[bucman1]

Do you think this will be a long late running season with storms into November?

[Steve]

I don't know.

[bucman1]

Steve,

You can do better than that.

I say 6.

I don't mean to be rude but that type of question can not be answered. No one knows how many more storms we are going to have and how long they are going to run. Minus well go get a magic 8 ball from Wal-Mart and ask that question to it and it might give you an answer that is correct but it was by luck. I don't think this is a questions people will have a correct answer to.

Less than 5 named storms, 1 more hurricane, no majors.

[bucman1]

Just trying to make a little conversation while things are not so stessed!!!

[cinlfla]

I'm going to say maybe 5 more I'm not sure if any of them will be major though

[Cryomaniac]

I'm going to repeat the prediction I made before Debby and Ernesto, total of 9 named storms, 3 hurricanes, 1 major hurricane.

Nope, i dont see this being a late season.Its probably going to end up being average, or below average in named storms. I dont feel we will even have a major this year. Now, things could change,but nature is resting after last year. Sorry, i know my answer isnt a popular one, but then alot of us want a break.

well said people just have nothing better to talk about look the nhc didnt know what was going on here its gone from la to sc so hey how can we even begin to guess how many more we will have out there.

>>Steve,

Bu-bu-bu-but I really don't. I know it wasn't the answer you were looking for, but...

It's really difficult to say. Will re-analysis bring us a named storm that we never had? Is Jim Hughes right about the El Nino? Are others right about 2002 ending up being a decent comparison year? If so, we probably get to 12-14 named storms (we're up to 5 so far). That would be my roughest estimate. But to really answer your question, "I don't know" is the truth.

I say we see 8-9 more storms and 4-5 Hurricanes and gonna throw in 2 Majors for good measure.

Its fun doing these polls sometimes.

[gtalum]

7.

[Brent]

I'm going to say six, 3 hurricanes, 1 major. I am not impressed with this season at all so those numbers may be too high...

I think the majority will be in September. No major ones after Early October.

[Swimdude]

Unfortunately, I have no doubt we'll see a major this year. When's the last time in recent memory a season HASN'T seen a major? Yeah...

[gtalum]

1994 is the last year I can find without a major.

If Storm2k had been around in '94, posters would have been committing suicide.

Half those suicides would probably have been from trying to predict Gordon alone.

I think there'll be at least 9 more named storms, 4 hurricanes (2 in September and 2 in October), of which 2 will be major hurricanes. Both will make landfall as majors.

That would be all the way to Nadine.. I'm looking forward for a crowded September (many weak storms) and a nasty early October (two major hurricanes).

[CrazyC83]

12 more named storms, 7 more hurricanes, 4 majors.

[Patrick99]

I actually think we will see another late October major.

Strangely enough, I don't feel that September will be all that threatening. There's always SOMETHING with the Cape Verde waves this year.....some reason why they can't develop, or when they do develop, why they weaken.

There's always an upper level low in the wrong place, shear, dry air, or some combination of the 3. I think the best chance at a major this year is a late October reincarnation of Wilma/Mitch/Michelle.
