Looks very similar to last season or possibly very mild La Nina too late in the season to change anything.

Neutral seems like a pretty good bet right now.

Well I dont want to be the odd man out but I guessed La Nina this year. Even though some of the quadrants are still running warm I do believe they will turn cool by the end of the season.

neutral.

But don't be suprised if a La Nina come around.

Remember 1998, when we went from a strong El Nino to a moderate La Nina event.

I don't rule anything out.

I guessed El Nino, I could be wrong though.
Then again, it could be a La Nina season, the way the weather patterns happen on the Texas coast line.

IMO, I dont see an El Nino being a dominant factor during peak season,any El Nino has a long way to go before it can start influencing the weather enough to impact the hurricane season.

With less the a month to go before the start of the '04 season & with about 3 months or so before the peak,even if an El Nino gets started right now,it will not be dominant enough.

A case of too little too late.

That was a very unusual event to see SST's flop that dramatically in such a short timeframe ...
