I'm guessing four. Being conservative given what has been happening in the season thus far.

I voted for 4. I am not convinced of and explosion of activity, but it does seem likely for at least an uptick. With a bit of luck, the harm potential will be low. (At least, I hope so -- need to sell the house! :) ) Of course, I really have no idea what I am talking about, so there is that...

This season has been a total bust, which is a good thing as we all need a break from natural disasters. I voted for 2 as the season is just about done. wake me up when the season starts

I went with two, the opposite of my prediction for August. Now that I go low, the Atlantic will pop 10+ named storms in September :lol: .

3/2/2 - I will echo WxMan57's sentiments by saying that I think a major hurricane strike on the US is possible this month - time period - 9/20 to 9/27 - may threaten the Gulf Coast...another major hurricane may develop behind that one...

This is the last call to vote in poll for those who still have not done so. Is a sure bet 96L will not develop into a named storm before this day is out so take that into consideration. Poll closes at 3:12 PM EDT.
