The 2017 Atlantic hurricane season forecast released Thursday from Colorado State University calls for the number of named storms and hurricanes to be slightly below historical averages.
quote:
A total of 11 named storms, four hurricanes and two major hurricanes are expected this season, according to the forecast prepared by the CSU Tropical Meteorology Project, headed by Dr. Phil Klotzbach. This is slightly below the 30-year average of 12 named storms, six hurricanes and two major hurricanes. A major hurricane is one that is Category 3 or stronger on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale.

The odds are increasing for a return to a weak or moderate El Niño by the heart of the hurricane season.

I'll go with the opposite. I'm calling for a huge hurricane season. 
Eta: they always predict for an active season and its always quiet.

Well Al Gore and the alarmists said we'd have more hurricanes and much bigger hurricanes. They even invented a Cat 6 just in case.

The 1992 season produced only six named storms and one subtropical storm. However, one of those named storms was Hurricane Andrew, which devastated South Florida as a Category 5 hurricane.

Was Peej involved with making this forecast??

I wonder how much CSU gets paid for these worthless forecasts

What a boner killer for weather channels who love reporting on severe weather.

I know that we have technology and satellites and all of that, but please give me a study out of a coastal state.

My favorite is when they revise their predictions half way through the season when they are inevitably wrong.

What? We're coming out of the mildest winter I think I've ever seen in over 30 years but we're going to have a below average season?

That's my biggest pet peeve with them. Can I change horses halfway through the race?
Nobody fricking knows. They cannot even predict the weather for next week.

That is their plan for a Global Warming gotcha. Trying to fool Mother Nature with some reverse psychology. MN should see through the ruse and have an extremely quiet Hurricane season.
