Pre-season predictions/mid-season outlooks
Hi. The 2009 Atlantic hurricane season is almost here, and I wanted to start a section on guessing the number of storms/landfalls/retired names here. I think there will be 11-14 storms, 4-7 hurricanes, 2 or 3 major hurricanes, 4 US landfalls with at least one being a major hurricane, although more or the same landfalls elsewhere, and 1-3 retired names. I think it will be above average, but nowhere close to 2008, 2004, or 2005. Anyone have other predictions? 76.235.209.170 20:47, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

GFS is predicting a TS in about 2 weeks in the southern Caribbean! Early season storm maybe??? ~Hi, it is TDI19!!!  ...To......From... 02:38, 26 April 2009 (UTC)

If you see the pattern here, 2006 ends early, 2007 begins early, Barry has nearly form in May. The Carribeans had Paloma, which made it end late. A good site to track the formation probability of storms. 70.68.18.110 03:43, 26 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Here's my prediction on the date of formation of the first named storm of the year: May 8. 2007Astro&#39;sHurricane 16:49, 26 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Well, anything could happen, it may beat Arlene's record. 70.68.18.110 22:37, 26 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Let's track of that wave now, still inland Africa. 70.68.18.110 04:27, 28 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Mistracked, nearly into the west coast of South America now. 70.68.18.110 04:34, 28 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Don't even waste your time with east of the islands until at LEAST June. And even that is extremely rare because there is extreme shear... if it somehow makes it through that you could see a wave become a storm in the Carribean but that's rare. I used to fantasize about crazy April african waves somehow catching a break in the shear and somehow developing in cold waters... it just can't happen (at least until global warming ramps up a bit :D) -Winter123 21:58, 28 April 2009 (UTC)

I would actually watch the area east of central america. Looking at the satellite I'm having flashbacks to other early season storms. Plus the monster ridge over the east coast. -Winter123 22:24, 28 April 2009 (UTC)
