Colorado State University researchers have forecast nine named storms in 2014, with just three expected to become hurricanes and one major storm. El Nino development is anticipated to contribute to a less active Atlantic tropical storm season.
Forecasters got it wrong last year when they predicted an unusually busy hurricane season. There were just 13 named storms and two Category One hurricanes.
The NHC has updated and revised several of their tracking and prediction products. The intensity probability table has been retired. The forecast cone (affectionately known as the cone of death or destruction) will be smaller. A new potential storm surge flooding map, and enhanced tropical weather outlook graphics are available. 2014 NHC Product Updates
Hurricane Preparedness Week is May 25-May 31.

I’m changing landfall to Corpus Christi.. based on the blue Norther they got Jan23-24. It’s a feedback theory I’m working on.
...probably something similar to what Red Hampshire towns do with their sky-high property taxes and the sky-high taxes charged when registering a car in Red Hampshire.
If there’s more storms than predicted - it’s global warming. If there are less - it’s global warming.
Sorry, that should be there are, not there’s.
We had him the first time.................
Uh oh--are you hearing voices again? Check your FReepmail, I sent you some new meds. ;o)
JIMMY CASTOR BUNCH
The Bertha Butt Boogie
Bum bum bumadum...
The party was jumping
When Bertha got off of her stump
The whistles were blowing
And everybody did the bump
But all the time Bertha
Had been working on a goodie
Now folks call it the
Bertha Butt Boogie
When Bertha Butt did her goodie
She started the Bertha Butt Boogie
No question
Bum bum bumadum...
When Bertha got moving
Her hips were humming in the wind
The ground started shaking
No grass grew where she’d been
The music was popping
The crowd had formed a ring
Her sisters yelled, boogie, Bertha
Do your thing
Oh, for your information
Bertha had three sisters
Betty Butt, Bella Butt
And Bathsheba Butt
When Bertha Butt did her goodie
She started the Bertha Butt Boogie
I said no question
Bum bum bumadum...
Hey Leroy, get away from that woman
That boy’ll never learn
Uh oh, here comes the troglodyte
Come here, sock it to me
Bertha stood back and yelled
Betty, Bella, Bathsheba
And the Butt sisters backed her up
When she yelled, I need you
The troglodyte, Leroy, Luther
And the Butt sisters all knew
That the Bertha Butt Boogie
Was now the thing to do
When Bertha Butt did her goodie
She started the Bertha Butt Boogie
No question
Bum bum bumadum...
I’ll sock it to you, daddy
Me like, me like
Come here, woman, woman
Come on
I’m calling you ma’am
Yeah, the boogie
Congratulations! You have been properly assimilated.
No hurricane Dujuan either................
I love new meds! No, seriously, there is history of when Texas cities get extreme blue northers - freezing the sea water - they get hit months later by a cane.
"You have learned well, Grasshopper."
2014 will be a moderate season, maybe one big storm.
2015, on the other hand, will be huge.
Every year that ends in a 5 is big for hurricanes as far back as I can remember, 65, 75, 85, 95, 2005...................
Barf.
DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM
Brought to you by the Holy Goracle.
I am waiting for Muhammad, Shaniqua, Low Low Jay X, or some other inclusive PC crap.
And we start watching for the 2014 Hurricane Season.
Thanks for the Ping NautiNurse...
Double trouble means rain and wind strewn rubble
Atlantic storms form and begin to bubble
If they do or don't then it only shows
When it comes to Hurricanes only NautiNurse knows.
Damn that Global Warming.
Their forecast is based on nothing more sophisticated than casting knuckle bones and a flat out guess.
They piss it away just like the states who get their income from other sources.
