My thoughts, as they have been much of the off season, is that Neutral conditions will be in store for the heart of the season. Not much difference in Neutral and LA NINA as far as number of storms. As WXMN suggested a weaker bermuda high would tend to curve most storms out to sea before 55W. Though I agree with this I do tend to think development after 55W is a good possibility. SO going out on a limb and say 14/8/3 for this season. 2-3 GOM threats. I do wonder about the ssts in the GOM rebounding but I have no doubt they will as they always have after a cold start to winter. Keep in mind though not firm science but snowfall in SE Texas, prior to TS season, we seem to get some nasty sotrms in the GOM. 2005 comes to mind.

Way to go out on a limb ED.. :lol:

1998 saw some TX action but way before JB's predictions I said 2005 so I will stick with that for now. I can tell you this with a waning El Nino its going to be one hot summer around here.

I am going for 15/8/3. I am more likely to think this season will be more like 1998 because before the season started, there was a strong El Nino, like we have right now. 2005 season had an El Nino, but it was a weak one. Also, 2008 is not out of the picture either and that was active.

maybe not quite the number of storms but intensity wise I can see it being record setting. Just look at those anomalies in the MDR and carib. 2005 was weird in that a monsoonal trof set up shop in the carib similar to WPAC storms. CV waves never developed until they made it across the pond. When they did the trof aided in developing.

I suspect our neighbors to the E as well as my old neighbors in the Keys and those in the Islands would just as soon forget a repeat of 2005!

Well Luis, I am not convinced that El Nino will fully relax just yet. ;) 11/4/2 (Preliminary)

2005 and 2008 season were in a Neutral phase of ENSO. I know 1933 was in that same phase too.
