This is meant for what we think of previous storms and how the rest of the season will pan out.

Can't argue with that!

Totally agree.

[du1st]

This year has been an active one.

[Petmom]

I think late August and most of September will be active. But October will be slow.

Yes, really. Just a guess, just like everyone else is doing. Don't want no hurricane around Halloween.......................

Or christmas!

Let's be serious!

[Petmom]

Let's be serious!

I am serious. I hope that October will be calm. I think that if we are to see some hurricanes, it will be in September.

[du1st]

It won't be with high SST's. DA!

[du1st]

This should be made a sticky. For every past hurricane season to discuss.

[boca]

I agree make a sticky for 3 days.

I bet we will get one or two names in December... and I bet they will be of the greek alphabet.

[WindRunner]

we've gotten 1-2 names each of the past years, why not this one? I agree with you. And that would be great for them to be greek.

Note: the following will probably not happen except for the mind of this poster.
I think that Cindy will be upgraded upon post-season analysis to a minimal hurricane, and Emily to a Cat. 5 hurricane. The storm in Mid-June will not be upgraded. I think we will get to Maria by the end of the month, Stan by September, Wilma by October, and Alpha forming in November. I have a feeling August will see increased hurricane activity, with 2 major hurricanes forming, one of which will make landfall. September will be similar, with one bad hurricane, but the end of the season will be uneventful, sans maybe one minor threat.
Note: the preceding was just the thoughts of the poster, it does not have any real data.

I think y'all are overestimating the likelihood of the season continuing at the same pace that it has in June-July-Aug. There will definitely be more storms, but running the "alphabet" is a silly idea. I'd bet on 5-6 more storms, with at least two more decent hurricanes, and call it an active season at around 15-16 named storms. It is highly unlikely that the pace will be maintained--SAL, more sheer than originally anticipated, and an early start may run down the available energy for cyclonegenesis earlier than in later starting seasons. SST'S aren't the only story in town.

Definitely no use getting the perfect storm part 2. That was amazing back in late October and early November of '91. Already 14 years since that historic storm.
