I am looking to hold some type of tropical/hurricane contests this season - I would like some of ya'lls input on this - maybe so suggestions - nothing to complicated - where we might issue prizes to the one winner.
Please post in this thread.
Thanks,
Patricia

A question may be:
How many landfalls will occur in the US coastline?

Why don't you find an obscure Hurricane fact on a weather related web site. Then post a trivia question about that fact. All the members will have 24 hours to research/find the answer and whom ever answers it correctly wins!
Also, what about some type of Hurricane scavenger hunt. You can post like 10 items that members have to find on the internet. Something like, you post an image or fact or article and the members have to find and provide the link to that particular item you have listed. Does that even make sense?!!
Anyway, those are my ideas

All Good Ideas. Didn't we already give our first guess at when, where and how strong on the "first system?" Or was that OBE because of Ana coming before the official start of Hurricane season 2003 
Anyhow RainyDaze idea of scavenger hunt, or name the storm (from viewing the pictire would be entertaining. maybe a new "what's my line" would be good, wherein clues would be given out about a storm and guesses made to its identidy 
The clues would have to be tough though. Going over some data (at least beginning) for season 2003, and it may be kick a$$ folks. The reverssal of the pattern we had during the winter is taking shape (at least in the short term), and areas that were warm in the winter are becoming abnormally cold, such as the NE Pacific. This effect could really start aiding in the reduction of SSts in the central and western pacific, bringing an onset of neutral to LaNina conditions by August, as Luis has alluded to. SSTs in the Western Atlantic, Caribbean and GOM are coming up nicely, and a check of water temps at 5 pm EST shows at least 80 from off the Daytona Bch all the way round to the central GOM, with few exception at some buoys. This is interesting, cause last year we had an early spike of SSTs, but they dropped off in May before gradually rising later in June. I look for Bill to happen on or before June 21st in the Caribbean and maybe moving into the GOM as a Cat 1. IMHO we really need to be on guard this year. Like I said a coupla weeks ago, a season like '95/'96 isn't out of the realm of possibilities. Ridge is setting up nicely FOR THIS TIME OF YEAR across the Western and central atlantic. It will not suppress the ITCZ like it has in the past few years. Remember, we're in an era of more active seasons, and '95 was 8 years ago. The setup for an active season is looking better each day as we approach June 1st, not going the other way
