For the season I predict, the wife and I have already been talking contingency planning and started laying in non-perishable supplies.

Weather channel said this am that it's not a tropical storm, but a huge low system. Hopefully those storms will stay away this fall.

We definitely NEED SOME RAIN - the rivers are getting so low that even with my small boat, it is hard to launch without falling off the end and getting your trailer stuck. Maybe it will just have to take a couple of tropical depressions (not hurricanes, please).

Don't know if these guys all the way up in Colorado know what they are talking about, but they echo you guys' predirelictions...

EXTENDED RANGE FORECAST OF ATLANTIC SEASONAL HURRICANE ACTIVITY AND U.S. LANDFALL STRIKE PROBABILITY FOR 2007
We have increased our forecast for the 2007 hurricane season, largely due to the rapid dissipation of El Niño conditions. We are now calling for a very active hurricane season. Landfall probabilities for the 2007 hurricane season are well above their long-period averages.

This is from CNN, guess the weather channel was only partially right:

Subtropical Storm Andrea formed Wednesday off the Southeastern U.S. coast, more than three weeks before the official start of the Atlantic hurricane season, forecasters said.

The year's first named storm had top sustained winds near 45 mph (72 kph) and was centered about 140 miles (225 kilometers) southeast of Savannah, Georgia, at 11 a.m. ET, the National Hurricane Center said.

Subtropical systems are hybrid weather formations that are usually weaker than hurricanes and tropical storms.

They share characteristics of tropical systems, which get their power from warm ocean waters at their centers, and more typical bad weather that forms when warm and cold fronts collide.
