How many named storms will form in September?

Ok peeps, here is the September poll that I predict will be very interesting especially as August has not have named storms so far. The poll will close for voting on August 31 at 6:22 PM EDT. Anyone who may want to comment about this poll and September go ahead.

No more generous estimates. I’m going with just 3 storms. Everything we’ve seen over the last month has shown that many favorable indicators turned out to be wrong, probably due to the triple-dip Nina or some other factor we just don’t know about yet. With that said, my vote will probably be too conservative even with a near to below-average season.

I'm preparing my popcorns to watch how many people will pick "none will form". :lol:

It’s still just a tad to early to see how peak season will perform, but I went with 4 storms since I think this year will be closer to average rather than the gangbusters season we were promised.

I voted for 1. I based my choice on the current slower season thus far. If there is only 1 named storm, that will for sure be another good discussion topic.

I'm going to go out on a limb and say "more than in August". (Voted 5 in the poll)

Went with 6 , expect 4 of them to be hurricanes

Not giving in , still think it is going to be a fairly active season

Went with 3 thanks to unfavorable MJO and high-latitude, broad waves. I do expect one of those to be a major hurricane however.

Not sure how realistic it is, but I'm stubborn so I'm going with 7 or more. Basically a 2010-esque flip switch where we only got to 3 NS by August 20, but still ended up in (hyper)active territory due to a very busy September (8 NS) and October (5 NS).

This is exactly what I was about to post so I'm claiming partial credit. :grrr:

(Except for 11 NS, I'm thinking more like 8.)
