Gray's Updated Forecast...

#1 Postby weatherguru18 » Fri Aug 03, 2007 4:43 pm

Ok...Dr. Gray came out with his new forecast today. He calls for 15 storms, 8 hurricanes and 4 major. Honestly, I think he's dead wrong! Does he remember last year? This year is paralleling last year pretty good. Not to mention that we have a lot of Saharan dust and cooler than normal sst's.

My personal forecast is:

10 named storms (8 more) we've already had two real ones.
5 hurricanes
2 major

With the Bermuda high so far to the east, I am also inclined to believe we will have plenty of fish storms. Just my thoughts...anybody?

I think Gray is right on...sst's are warmer now, there is considerably less SAL, and last year was an el nino, as opposed to this year's nuetral/weak la nina
