NOAA increases their prediction to
14-19 named storms (including the six to-date), 5-9 hurricanes, and 2-5 major hurricanes. ACE expected to be 100%-170% of the median.

Interesting to see that NOAA has upped their forecast for the number of storms this season. I didn't see that coming.

I'm afraid this (active remainder of the season) may be the case. I sure hope they are wrong.

:eek: We are in for quite a run if this forecast pans out. Funny how many on the board are entertaining season bust ideas yet Phil K and Noaa just revised their forecasts upwards.

What else sticks out is the fact that NOAA has such a wide range. Anything from an average/slightly above average season to an extremely active/hyperactive season.

I'm leaning towards the lower end of the scale for NOAA with numbers around 14/5/2 for now.

I leaning towards the high end with the conditions that are setting up
I think Sept/Oct is where the hyperactive activity is likely to occur.

Things will get cranking after mid-Aug similar to 2004/2010. If everything falls into place it might feel nonstop for a bit.

see what I posted on the seasonal prediction thread.

The EC is going with a below average number of storms for the rest of the season. However, it is going for above average ACE.

The human seasonal forecasts may be overstating the number of storms. However, the quality of the storms may very well be high

Regardless of what happens with 99L and whatever is behind that GFS 18z doesn't show, what it shows is repeated troughs in the southeast. There's always a shot at some homebrew particularly if 99L doesn't suck the energy up and also into the next 2 weeks. At some point after, and GFS doesn't show it yet, but I think when the pattern breaks is when the US will be open. Whether systems come in bursts or if we stay in an extended active period of a few or several weeks is unknown.

I think we ultimately hit mid teens, but that is interesting that EC is going with fewer systems but higher ACE. That means bang for the buck systems. I'd rather most of those stay offshore, but in a year where there is at least some Western Atlantic bias, you have to at least be looking at things becoming sketchy.

JB's forecast has not changed.

@BigJoeBastardi
http://Weatherbell.com forecast has not changed. Feel %of total ACE and where, and the actual ACE more important metric than total names

So far that hasn't been the case, but I know how things can change just like they did last year with Matthew for instance.
