Okay, call it a "wishcast" if you will; but I'm gonna go with lower than normal activity--something's gotta break the trend of the past 2 years. Maybe 1 major somewhere in the GOM area, a few brushes and TS, can't avoid all of it; but by-and-large a deep downward trend from the activity of the previous 2 years.

I wish I could say that I thought the Gulf would be less active this year...but I fear it will not be. The loop current is much larger and warmer than normal and I think this may spell trouble yet again this year.

trouble for another major developing for sure. I would say 3-4 is pretty active.

after 140 days without rain I'd think Pheonix would be worse
