Welcome to Storm2k Zack.

Did the wave behind Luis develop into Marilyn? It looks pretty well organized in that picture...

I believe so. I know Marilyn was a CV storm that affected the Northeastern Caribbean(Leewards etc).

Yeah I think that wave did become Marilyn.

1995 was a busy season,only 2 hurricanes made landfall in the U.S(Opal and Erin),both hitting the same city(Pensacola),except Erin first made landfall in south Florida,I think.

Interestingly, 1995 is one of our analog years for this season...due to the fact that it had west QBO, generally neutral ENSO, slightly positive NAO, and strong ATC...all what is happening/forecasted this year.

With that being said, there are 2 small differences which give 1995 an advantaging edge over 2004. One is that 1995's ENSO was biased more towards cool conditions...and a weak La Nina was even declared late in the season. Secondly, the ATC that year was exceptionally strong...more so than the case this year. So an active season is a sure bet...but on 1995's level, probably not.

1995 is on the top 3 list of most active years(since records have been kept). I believe it's number 2. It's unlikely this year would be that active(1995 got down to T :eek: )

Only thing that would be more interresting than that "parade of storms" pic would be to have 2 canes landfalling in the US at the same time. One on the East Coast and another from the Gulf. Could you imagine the news-or this board even?? :eek: Not sure if that has ever happenned though but it would be possible.
