Hi and welcome to my thread...I live on the Mississippi Gulf Coast.
I hope you find it to be of interest, as we are fast approaching Hurricane Season 2006.

We'll take a look back at the three most talked about Hurricanes of the 2005 season...Hurricanes: Katrina, Rita and Wilma. I have a passion for both computers and weather...I wanted to have a thread so that the users of this site, who either live or have relatives that live somewhere along the Gulf Coast, a place to vent and talk about the past 7 months since Katrina wiped out the entire Mississippi coast and New Orleans, as well as parts of Mobile.

Enjoy!

ATLANTIC BASIN SEASONAL HURRICANE FORECAST FOR 2006
<National Hurricane Center, Miami, FL>

Forecast Parameter and 1950-2000

Issue Date: 4 April 2006

Named Storms
17

Hurricanes (Cat 1-2)
9

Intense Hurricanes (Cat 3-4-5)
5

PROBABILITIES FOR AT LEAST ONE MAJOR (CATEGORY 3-4-5) HURRICANE LANDFALL ON EACH OF THE FOLLOWING COASTAL AREAS:

1) Entire U.S. coastline - 81% (average for last century is 52%)

2) U.S. East Coast Including Peninsula Florida - 64% (average for last century is 31%)

3) Gulf Coast from the Florida Panhandle westward to Brownsville - 47% (average for last century is 30%)

4) Above-average major hurricane landfall risk in the Caribbean

ABSTRACT

Information obtained through March 2006 continues to indicate that the 2006 Atlantic hurricane season will be much more active than the average 1950-2000
season. We estimate that 2006 will have about 9 hurricanes (average is 5.9), 17 named storms (average is 9.6), 85 named storm days (average is 49.1),
45 hurricane days (average is 24.5), 5 intense (Category 3-4-5) hurricanes (average is 2.3) and 13 intense hurricane days (average is 5.0).
The probability of U.S. major hurricane landfall is estimated to be about 55 percent above the long-period average. We expect Atlantic basin Net
Tropical Cyclone (NTC) activity in 2006 to be about 195 percent of the long-term average. This early April forecast is based on a newly devised extended
range statistical forecast procedure which utilizes 52 years of past global reanalysis data. Analog predictors are also utilized. We have maintained our
forecast from our early December prediction as the Atlantic Ocean, although cooling slightly with respect to climatology, remains anomalously warm and
central and eastern tropical Pacific sea surface temperatures anomalies have continued to cool. Currently, weak La Niña conditions are observed.
We expect either neutral or weak La Niña conditions to be present during the upcoming hurricane season.
