How many named storms will form in October?

[DestinHurricane]

How many named storms? Hurricanes? Majors?

Anything affecting the CONUS?

[CyclonicFury]

3, two of which become hurricanes. One hurricane in the WCAR/GOM, another one in the subtropics. The hurricane that forms in the Caribbean/GOM threatens the US.

[northjaxpro]

I am going with 5 total named storms in October, with 2 of them being major hurricanes. Two storms could impact the CONUS.

[toad strangler]

5 name storms

4 Hurricanes (Three from the Caribbean, two of which will be Majors which hit CONUS, other hits GA's heading NE)

[chaser1]

Think i'll go with 3-4 named storms, with one of them reaching major status. Of these, 1-2 U.S. T.S. or minimal hurricane landfalls - both of thrm being "sloppy hot messes".

Landfalls in Florida from a major and one hurricane in eastern Cuba and the Bahamas

[Monsoonjr99]

3 named storms, 2 hurricanes, 1 major. Just like the previous two years.

I'm thinking 2019 is likely to end with Olga, but maybe November or even December delivers surprise Pablo.

[HurricaneAndre2008]

2-3 named storms
1-2 hurricanes
0-1 majors

Watch northern gulf coast

[terstorm1012]

4 total, all 4 hurricanes, 1 major.

[CYCLONE MIKE]

3 systems total. 2 storms like Karen and 1 that will probably reach cat 1 or maybe weak 2 strength. Of those one of the weak, sloppy storms will get pulled northeast from Caribbean and affect somewhere along ne gulf or west coast of Florida.

[TheStormExpert]

2-4 is my guess. With at least one hurricane, maybe a major and definitely some W. Caribbean CAG mischief at some point in the month.

[psyclone]

2 or 3...one of which will be a hurricane.

[zal0phus]

I'm thinking there are going to be 4 storms, 2 of which will be hurricanes and 1 of which will be a major. If we don't get another storm in September, I think there'll be 5 in October, 3 will be hurricanes, and possibly 2 will be majors.
Complete speculation- I don't expect much from Melissa, Olga, or Sebastien, but Nestor and Pablo give me bad vibes. This is really bullish but I think we're going to have an extremely powerful, Wilma-level Category 5 in the western Caribbean early-mid October- it's just a weird hunch I have but can't shake.

[CrazyC83]

Late entry, but:

3 storms - all becoming hurricanes, 1 major. That major hurricane I think will be a category 5 in the western Caribbean, eastern Gulf and western Atlantic, while one of the other hurricanes will be also in the western Caribbean/Central America and the other in the subtropical central Atlantic.

I vote zero.

[CyclonicFury]

I vote zero.

Now that's bold, but not surprising from you. You should get at least a short break for the next 5-10 days.

[hcane27]

1 , and that lone storm will likely be a hurricane , forming in the Caribbean , affecting the island countries of Hispaniola

[wayne56]

Plenty of fuel. 4 one major

[nativefloridian]

IMO....no more than 1, although could be none.

[Bhuggs]

I’d guess 3. A Caribbean storm, a subtropical TS, and a depression off the east coast of Florida that starts arguments on if it should have been classified or not
