The season will end on Wilma.

Edit: Okay, maybe Beta.

Now that's pessimistic!

Since 1995 we've seen an average of 5.2 named storms after this date, as well as a median of 5.5. 1997 and 2002 saw 2, but that was because they were El Nino years. Eliminating them gives us an average of 6 storms after this date. This will bring us to Beta, with a possibility of being up to Delta.

One thing is for certain: Beta is, of course, a fish.

The climo-curve (takes the activity so far this season and projects it through the rest of the season based on the amount of that activity) is thinking Delta. (Of course, the climo-curve isn't the best, especially if we have a large batch of activity (4-5 named storms at the same time) or a lull within the next few weeks)

Not looking forward to "Hurricane Omega".

That's what they'll name the next sci-fi megahurricane disaster movie they're sure to make, won't they?

:roll: :(
