Re: Expert forecasts for 2016 : CSU April forecast is up
Yeah that 98 year was crazy. We got a few brush-byes with Georges hitting the MGC, Hermine(sp?) hitting us but with displaced weather. And Frances was memorable for the insane rainfall we got here while it spun off the South TX Coast. 2003 was a direct hit from TS Bill. 1992 was Andrew in Homestead and then over in Morgan City with high end TS conditions here. A little scary. CSU went almost straight average. I think that's the right call for a season where analogs are mixed. Some of the other pros also have mixed years. Smoothing it out to 12/6/2 or whatever seems like what you would expect from CSU. Landfall probabilities for the USEC and GC are like a percent off but still show decent landfall possibilities. Idk.

Beat me to it and yeah they seem to believe it will be even more active than I predicted. How accurate have they been in the past?

15-18 named storms, 8-11 hurricane, and 3-5 major hurricanes.
They might be pushing it with their predictions in my opinion.

Cycloneye, isn't Dr Ventrice with the weather company. Which is the same as the Weather Channel. IBM purchased the Weather Channel this year if I remember correctly.

Re: Expert forecasts for 2016 for N Atlantic Hurricane Season
The Weather Channel was not sold. It's digital rights were sold. Comcast and Blackstone still own TWC

Re: Expert forecasts for 2016 for N Atlantic Hurricane Season
I forgot that Alyno. NBC Universal bought the Weather Channel and NBC Universal is owned by Comcast. Btw, what is meant by "digital rights". Finally, I think IBM is a smaller company then Comcast.

Looks like the last 5 of 6 analogs had at least two hurricane hits with 25 miles of US coastline...one hit just S of Brownsville...Andrew double hit in 92

Re: Expert forecasts for 2016 for N Atlantic Hurricane Season
There is a research group (Coastal Carolina) that put out a report last week predicting East coast hits will be down in the future. Much as I would like to believe them, I see more reports, even as recent as Sunday am, that seem to indicate increasing likelihood of East coast hits. Very confusing at the moment

Re: Expert forecasts for 2016 for N Atlantic Hurricane Season
Bastardi (on Weatherbell), in his daily summary takes a look at the tropical map put out by Tropical Tidbits and notes the similarities. He also hints the humidity/moisture at 400mb pre-season often indicates where storms may intensify or at least have some of the tools to work with later in the season. His 50% of the entire season's ACE being all in the in the Western Caribbean, central Gulf of Mexico and into the Northern Gulf Coast between SE Texas and Apalachicola (representing somewhere between 50-65 units of ACE) is disquieting.
