I say at least 2. Rarely does an El Nino completely shut down the season before October.

Common folks,let's have 100 votes as that number is not far now.And the voting so far is going great with three options being the most voted but every poll option is getting votes including the (No More Named Systems) one and that is a sign of good participation and a mix of opinions about how many named storms will form or the 2006 season wont see anymore named storms.

I voted for 3 named systems (mainly tropical storms) as I don't think that we have seen the last of tropical development.

[quote="gatorcane"] Things are quiet now but we can't let that fool us as there is pleny of latent heat left across the GOM, Caribbean, and Western Atlantic.


Although water temperature is important, I think the advent of the el nino phenomenom will put the clamps on any severe storm anywhere in the Atlantic and Caribbean..Anything in the Atlantic will veer north of the islands and anything in the Caribe will be at most one very sheered strong tropical storm..Just my opinion

NONE!!! 0 If atmospheric conditions do not change. Time is running out in this dud season. There is a major amount of dry sinking air that covers most of the Atlantic now. It will be a couple of weeks till MAYBE the overall pattern might have a chance to change. Everytime the models show a shift in this or that coming ahead IT NEVER HAPPENS. I would imagine in 2 weeks I will be saying the same thing with the same conditions present. :roll:

Well, I voted five on the theory that we get a late-season burst of activity in the Caribbean plus a couple of fish in the mid-Atlantic.

We've had essentially no activity in the Caribbean all season. I just don't see that lasting through October.

I think my earlier guess was 9/3/1, and, even though it's already near/at that number, I don't think they'll be many more - the pattern just isn't there for development, and, it'll only get more hostile over the next few weeks, as we know, due to seasonal changes, and increasing El Nino conditions...

Oops - by the way, "I don't think they'll be many more" means 2...

I voted three. I think that's actually a pretty good guess too.

Those who voted for the No More Systems will form lost the poll as Isaac formed before the poll closes on the 30th.Still there is time for those who haved not voted yet to do so for the rest of the options.
