The 10-13 storm forecast seems reasonable, but with 3, and possibly 4, storms forming before June in the Atlantic, it may be hard to find exactly how many storms we will have. Unless we slow down significantly in the heart of the season due to potential ENSO conditions, 14-17 named storms sounds more reasonable than 10-13. I put the range at anywhere from 11-17 storms since we could slow down, but we also could speed up. We'll have to wait and see what happens as 2012 unfolds.
