Eigyt more.

Three in September, four in October, and one in November.

Two will be majors, and one more CONUS landfall (any category).

I went with 7 (maybe more), with the equatorial Pacific looking like it is heading straight back into decent La Niña territory I have a bad feeling about how the next 2-½ months may go. Don't let your guard down!

Yup. I would not be surprised to see at least 7 more before the end of this year given the way things look for October and La Nina. I think November will have 2-3 named storms as well.

I would not be surprised if Florida ends up getting hit again but from the south this time from something in the Caribbean, particularly the Western Caribbean in October.

and some bad news for the Caribbean. In a la niña, most of the big hits occur AFTER this date. Take 1996 (Lili) 1998 (Georges and Mitch), 1999 (Jose and Lenny), the near niñas of 2001 (Iris and Michelle) and 2005 (Stan, Wilma, Alpha, Beta, Gamma), 2010 (Matthew, Nana, Richard and Tomas), and 2016 (Matthew and Otto). Only niña in recent years where the worst hits came earlier was 2007 and even then, they had over 200 die after this date (Noel and Olga)

8 more (including 14/Lee). Right now my season total guess is 19 storms, 12 hurricanes and 6 majors based on the pace things are going.

For the season total- 15 would likely be the absolute lower limit. I think we will see 17 or 18 for 2017 --provided that TD 14 and the invest in the Atlantic both become named storms(pushing the number to 13). 19 or 20 is probably the absolute upper limit in what we could see. We are behind every year that has had 19 or more named storms (except 1887).

Being active up to this point does not necessarily mean it will continue in October. Many years have months that are more active than normal along with months that are less active. Last year we had about the same number form by this date--but only one storm formed in October. If we have average(for the era since 1995) to above average activity in October , we could see easily reach 17 or 18.

We could easily be through Nate by next week (the wave over Africa being Nate). With a transition towards La Nina this fall looking more likely, I'm starting to think Greek letters are a possibility. Nate would make 14, leaving only 7 names. It probably won't happen (Greek letters), but it is incredible to think 2017 could go down as one of the most active seasons on record after people were comparing it to 2013 only four weeks ago. :lol:

Have you seen any recent EC 30-day pressure and precip anomalies? I haven't and was wondering if they were noncommittal or if they showed any strong anomalies.

I hear you. Since they went full on pay, it's hard to find their monthly outputs except to randomly run across them. Somebody's got em somewhere. EC failed on ENSO, but I'd guess it would be better on a macro level with a 30 day.
