The option with the most votes was two.

I'm wondering with the huge influx of Saharan dust if the NHC is going to be dropping their predicted number of storms for the season?

Unlikely. This happens every single year. One of the main reasons why this particular outbreak is this large is due to stronger than normal waves provoking the SAL.

Last season didn't even have the D storm until almost September, and we ended with 18.

Currently, the next storm is the 5th named storm, and it is July 1st.

Good point...

Not even mid-month yet and we're sitting at two named storms At this point, I'd say that those guessing 3 or even four are sitting pretty

Yes indeed! I was among those who predicted 3.

We may see 4 before the month ends.....

I predicted two. I thought 3 or 4 might be a bit much.

I think your "3" is going to be the magic number.

Not this year 2020 as it is turning out to be!!

Well, we will see. We still have quite a bit of ample time, three weeks left in the month, and I fully anticipate the MDR to start getting cranked up out there for development later this month. A fourth named storm in the month is quite possible.

With Edouard, Fay, and 7, plus 91L and the wave that the models are liking maybe 6-8 days from now, it looks like my recklessly aggressive prediction of 5 might have a chance after all.

Well it is quite fair for me to say that what I mentioned earlier in the month just may be proven correct after all!

There is a chance that we may even see a fifth named storm for the month out in the MDR, as a very strong wave behind Gonzalo, is coming on its heels in the next few days. The models are latching onto it to develop.

Congrats being the only person in the poll to guess it right!

Haha thank you! For a second there I was worried I would've undershot it, too...

i went with two. I think SAL will limit July's potential, but August could be quite different.

Well I was off by three.
