How many Atlantic named systems will form in September?

[cycloneye]

As I did in the August poll,this September one is the same and is simple.To make it a complete poll I added the option,No systems in September.The poll will close on August 31rst at the same time this thread was made (7:52 AM EDT).

I will go with four September named storms.

[TampaFl]

I am going to go with 5 for September. 50% of all hurricanes that form happen in September.

I say 6/3/2...

[CrazyC83]

6/4/3.

August carryovers (i.e. a storm that forms on August 31) should not count.

I am going with 4, nudged down a little because of the lack of activity up to this point.

But I think Sept will be a much busier time than Aug.

[KWT]

I'd say 5 named storms, 4 hurricanes and 2 intense hurricanes, ACE value of between 50-60.

[Jinkers]

I think only 2, it's going to be a quieter season, just a guess.

[Cryomaniac]

I say 7/3/1.

2006 4/4/2
2005 5/5/2
2004 4/4/3
2003 5/3/2
2002 8/4/2
2001 4/4/2
2000 7/5/2

Average this decade 5.3/4.1/2.1

We have not had a September storm not reach hurricane status since 2003 and 1994 was the last year we did not have a major atlantic hurricane form in Sept. 13 straight years.

6/4/3.

August carryovers (i.e. a storm that forms on August 31) should not count.

Nope,those dont count.

[canetracker]

Only becuase September is usally the most active month, I voted 3 named storms.

[Brent]

4... I expect at least 3 of those to be hurricanes and 1 to be a major. At least one will hit the U.S.

[Trader Ron]

Three named storms.

[RL3AO]

4/2/1

[Cyclone1]

I voted for six, mainly near the end of September. That's when the La Nina is supposed to kick in. I have a bad feeling about another category five, and trust me, I'm right nearly 6% of the time.

[cycloneye]

Dont leave it to the last minute as the voting will be closed at the day and time it says at the top of poll.

[M_0331]

I say 6 hurricanes, the size of cells coming from Africa reminds me of the size of Hugo when it exited Africa.

The last September named storm that failed to become a hurricane was Tropical Storm Henri in 2003...16 straight September named storms have been hurricanes. (I can't see that string continuing since I smell a Cape Verde dud or two)

I didn't believe it, but you're right. Every storm that's formed in September since Henri has been a hurricane. That is a weird statistic.

There have been several depressions that have formed and failed to become named since then, but every named storm in that period has become a hurricane.
