Record pace of development?
Just like 2005 had the most active July ever. Could 2010 have the most active September ever? And if so, could 2010 produce the most active October as well? Given the conditions we've seen since mid august, could 2010 actually rival 2005's numbers afterall?

Re: Record pace of development?
The 8th named storm this year (Hermine) was on September 6th, which was the 11th fastest season on record to reach that point.
The 9th named storm (Igor) was on September 8th, which was the 9th fastest on record.
If we get Julia before September 14th (92L?), it will be the 6th fastest on record.
If we get Karl before September 16th (some African wave?), it will be 5th fastest on record.
Data per http://www.thegreatzo.com/hurimg/, which is based off the best track.

Its not record breakingly fast, but there can be no doubt we have had a pretty explosive few weeks...Danielle, Earl, Fiona, Gaston, Hermine and Igor have all come in a 20 day period or so, so its more then possible we could end up with 8-9NS in the space of 30 days, which would be very quick pace indeed to be honest!
No doubts in my mind this season ends up going hyperactive in terms of the offical method of calculating whether a season is hyperactive or not.

If we get J & K in the next few days...and it appears we will...i don't see why 18-20 named storms at least is not at all reasonable to forecast by the end of the season, esp. when la nina seasons tend to run late.

I noticed CSU had 1998 listed as one of the four analog years based on the factors they use to predict how busy the season would be.
