In case you haven't noticed, I am as far from the hurricane region as you could get, unless of course one comes up to Lake Superior...lol

Anyway, I have a question. On most of your sigs, you have the season predictions. What do the different numbers mean? Such as Cycloneye's prediction is 14/8/3

Any help would be great....

Total number of storms as in tropical depressions, tropical storms or hurricanes/I think 8 reaching hurricane status/3 being major hurricanes.

Ceye can verify - but I think this is the explanation.

Yes, indeed. I remember the three numbers meaning

Number of Named Storms
Number of Hurricanes
Number of Major Hurricanes; Category 3 and above.

...and of course a name is given when the system becomes a Tropical Storm.
