I read Joe Bastardi's Hurricane Outlook today and I found it somewhat interesting and a little obvious,I respect J.B. and he brought up some pretty interesting views on why Hurricanes happen and their purpose in this world and seasons with 9 - 12 storms etc...,and I agree and I'm open to anyones opinions and hypothesis',but the obvious parts are his landfall areas he predicts,you can't go wrong with that outlook because just about every season the areas he mentioned are the most prone areas anyway which are the Carolinas,South Florida and Louisianna,now if you say that S.Texas or New England is 3.2 and it turns out that indeed that area gets hit a few times, now you are on to something,that said,don't get me wrong I watch J.B. all the time and look forward to his outlooks,but I allready knew in January that the Carolinas,South Florida and Louisianna might feel the effects of a Hurricane this year.
