The 2010 Atlantic Hurricane Season is rapidly approaching! I think its time we make a game where you try and predict how busy it will be.Some professionals have already made some predictions...(They do not forecast the wind speed part)
CSU: 15-8-4 Accuweather.com: 16-18/7/2-3 Predict the season in this format: # of Tropical Storms- # of Hurricanes- # of Major Hurricanes- Highest Wind Speed (in MPH) Contest Closes on May 1, 2010
-------------------- Summary of 2009-2010 winter so far... First Snow Flurries: December 5 Total Accumulated Snowfall: 7.65" Lowest High so far: 30 Lowest Low so far: 12.5 # of Frosts( 36F or lower): 94 # of Freezes( 32F or lower): 71 Days with Snow: 12 # of 1-inch+ Snowfalls:2 # of 3-inch+ Snowfalls:1 # of Ice Storms: 0 As of, March 27 2010 |

OK my guess
21 Storms 9 Hurricanes 5 Major Hurricanes 1 storm hits mid Atlantic coast 2 storms hit Florida 1 storm hits North Carolina 1 storm hits gulf coast and my dream guess A cat 3 enters in Georgia then its turned south into gulf coast then stalls for a few days, then makes its way into Texas as a cat 5.

I know it is a month in but the break down for me.
17 Named Storms, 11 Hurricanes, 6 Major Hurricanes. (20 total depressions = TD, TS, and Cane) 7 Storms will hit the US, 5 Hurricanes, 2 Major. 2 Category 5's over water, no US Cat 5 landfall. 1 Category 4. Highest wind speed will be 180 mph. Lowest Pressure will be around 27.35". I know it is closed but thought I would through it out there. |
