Could you please stop? Please?

The fact that the trough is coming back, at least to my understanding, wont inhibit development in the tropics, it just wont allow them to make landfall along the east coast...... therefore in this sense i fail to see the point in your argument that this season will be anything like 1992, sorry.

Rainstorm,I think we'll still have an active season,but if the trough sets up it would just affect the steering of the systems not the number.

Just because they're "famous" doesn't mean they're right or good. Not to slam anyone per se, it's just the truth.

I fully believe that at least a tropical depression will form out of the disturbance heading toward South Carolina and that the season will be very active. As far as landfalls are concerned, we'll know soon enough about that.

Oh-no!! Not another Andrew!!!! LOL I agree about the trough being dangerous especially with the stronger than normal bermuda high keeping the storms from recurving until near the US, Then they reach the trough which would be there just in time to pick up a cane and slam it into the East coast or even run the entire coast :eek: Trough could be bad news as we approach the peak an it could be a destructive season indeed.

Well the trough would technically prevent anything forming in the GOM for the most part.

Rainstorm,

Several points:

1) Hurricane Season 2004 is not likely to be a repeat of 1983, 1997, etc.

Year.......MEI.......Named Storms
1957.......1.01.......8
1965.......1.21.......6
1972.......1.45.......4
1982.......1.58.......5
1983.......1.19.......4
1987.......1.81.......7
1992.......1.02.......6
1993.......1.23.......8
1997.......2.33.......7

Average named storms: 6.1

2) As opposed to the above May-November MEI averages, the MEI has averaged 0.357 so far since May 2004.

Here's how years fared with an MEI in the 0.057-0.657 range:

Year.......MEI.......Named Storms
1951.......0.58.......10
1953.......0.35.......14
1958.......0.47.......10
1963.......0.44.........9
1969.......0.52.......17
1976.......0.50.........8
1979.......0.59.........8
1980.......0.52.......11
1990.......0.33.......14
1998.......0.13.......14
2003.......0.26.......16
Average named storms: 11.9

3) But that's not all, let's take into consideration the westerly QBO.

Here's what remains:

Year.......Named Storms
1953.......14
1969.......17
1980.......11
1990.......14

Average named storms: 14.0

So, "what if neither develop?"

Don't worry too much. The global indices strongly hint that even if the first named storm doesn't develop until August, could well be one of 36% of such seasons that still winds up with 10 or more named storms.

Enjoy the weekend.
