Read the whole report and you will find very interesting anaylisis about why he increases the numbers.It is not a surprise that he upgraded his numbers as at the recent conference there were hints of doing so.So let's prepare for another busy season folks.

Here I was breathing a very premature sigh of relief, thinking that the Louisiana and GOM region was in the clear this year. Now yall did tell me many times before never count my chickens before they hatch. I went to that link and read on, and I am now like HOLY BLEEP BATMAN!!

There will be another update on May 31st or so. That update should bring a bit more clarity to the 2005 season. However, I also understand that this year we will take into consideration the results of the 'British' model used for forecasting the season and projected impacted areas sometime in Auguist. Does anyone know about this new development?

Interesting article… I saw something like it in the local paper.
I think we place such an artistic emphasis on hurricanes and their global relations that we in some sense refuse to let ourselves understand them. It is almost as if such knowledge could only lead to disaster. Are hurricanes beyond understanding? Yes, you have trade wind patterns, ENSO, etc, but when it really comes down to it, what do we really know? I suppose, to quote Sophocles, "we shall either find what we are looking for, or we shall free ourselves from the persuasion that we know what we do not know."
