I forgot to predict when I thought first named storm would occur. I believe that would be the 2nd week in August. for 2 reasons.
1) People are NOT complacent this year. I already have people asking me what I think at work.
2) It is still very cool for nearly the middle of May here in Central Florida.( Don't ask the construction workers).
The moisture is not consistent over land or even near land.
3) Unless there is more than usual political derrier covering, they will not be quick to name storms that are far away(not in Gulf of Mexico) to save the names for the threatening ones.

Ha ha. I posted a date yesterday just to get in the spirit of the thing, and had no idea I'd be looking at my first tropical wave of the season today! HF, did you have a crystal ball? Shear ahead of the wave is dropping off and there is even a chance it may make it into the Carib. If it does then something could get cooking.

I am on record at another site for 20/12/6.
My first US landfall was July 12th.
My thoughts have been for the greater threats this year being on the EC, due to my expected conditions this year.

I'll keep my numbers the same. Scientifically, osscilations in patterns tend not to be extreme from year to year. However, with fairly average SSTs, I believe it won't be quite as active as last year. The cool spring won't affect mid-late season as the SSTs warm up quickly and the continued higher global temperature trend increases the numbers of hurricanes over a normal season, though not as extreme as we saw last year. The likely hood of lots of named storms is high, but I don't expect them to be as strong systems.
Here are my winter numbers, unchanged: 23/9/2
Now, first storm: The cool spring will delay the start slightly, so I expect the first names storm in the 3rd week of June.

time to make may updates.
I've lived in Florida since I was born 52 years ago.
We have hurricanes every year.
I do not second guess, nor predict, how Mother Nature will perform.
She does what she does.
She does it well.
And as a Floridian, I accept her.
This is something that we do every year. It is not done seriously, however, it does match our guesstimates against the 'numbers' provided by professional outlets. Our intent is to encourage participation, not discourage it. If you don't intend to post your thoughts on seasonal numbers, don't make a post in this thread.

Hello everyone! While I never paid much attention to the supposed baroclinic super powers of love-bugs (who are probably too busy procreating on my windshield to care), I must digress I was half expecting an early season storm before the month’s end… but lo, the likelihood for such an event is rapidly diminishing; I shall surrender Alberto to sometime before June 15.
I am most likely leaving the state for college in the spring term, so this is in many respects my last season for now.
My numbers are:
15/7/3
Everyone ready? : )
--------------------
cheers

lots of off topic stuff on this thread. oh bother. i guess i could be grumpy about it, but a messy room isn't the end of the world.
reminder that today, may 30th, is the deadline to add your take. the colostate bunch will issue their update tomorrow. they might slash a storm or two, but i doubt they'll make any significant changes.
