hurricane season will soon upon us?

I honestly believe that hurricane season is only a month long. SEPTEMBER. Hurricanes hit landfall most often in September. It won't be worse this year. There will be other storms that will take place during that time frame.

I don't think there's any real compelling evidence to suggest what kind of tornado season this'll be.  The only real long-term predictor is El Nino... I believe that a La Nina pattern actually trends towards slightly more tornadoes, and that we are in a slight La Nina, but the difference is not very large.  However, right now we are locked into a trough in the western US, ridge in the eastern US pattern which suggests that at least for the next week, it should be quite active.  The number of tornadoes in Oklahoma all depends on the exact location and setup of storms, things we really have no handle over beyond at most about a week, and climatologically I don't believe there are big predictors.  So your guess is as good as mine or anyone else's at this point.  Winter does not say much about spring conditions usually.  One final note: http://www.cpc.noaa.gov/products/predictions/long_range/lead01/off01_prcp.gif shows that climatologically it's more likely to be drier the next three months than usual in Oklahoma, so you might conclude that would lead to less tornadoes (though that's not always true!).

The forecasters feel that the Bermuda High will position itself about the same as last year. This means it will be difficult for hurricanes to curve northward along the East Coast, just like last year. If the forecasters are reasonably accurate, Long Island should not see any Category 3 hurricanes this season. I live in FL...you want me to send one your way?

This is far better though.  Plug yourself into NASA.\n\nWatch hurricanes as they happen.\n\nhttp://goes.gsfc.nasa.gov/

I don't normally do this but this caught my eye and I am going to "guess" Florida, because every afternoon I know when I was there in July I could set my watch to those darn storms.  \n\nMind you this was only a guess

Fall, around August. I can't wait!!

Erm...well, Instead of saying immediate effects, you could say Primary effects. Sounds more professional :P\nHurricanes tear buildings apart blah blah.\n\nThey can be predicted with signs of violent winds, killer waves, torrential rains and flash flooding.\nIt's usually predicted for a hurricane 'season'\nThe specialists could look at the weather from the satelites in space with the amount of movement in the wind, and the weather. [I think]\n\nI know the hurricanes are born over water and when it reaches land, it starts to loose power.

It will be a long season.

With us humans upon it? Soon

I think in September\nAmnesty for all!!!

Typically the most reliable source which is used by NOAA and the Weather Channel along with the governments to determine the answer to this question is the forecast by Colorado State University's Dr. William Gray. He is presently handing over the reins to Phil Klotzbach who has worked with him for five years preparing the forecasts.\n\nFrom the April 2006 forecast\nInformation 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.

help hurricane victims it will be very worth while

yes there is ,,in an eye of a hurricane or a tornado

Yes, we put up window protection and keep flashlights, batteries, etc. on hand.  We have a gas grill we can cook on after the storm passes, and a generator. A really good link to guide you in preparations is http://www.palmbeachpost.com/storm/content/storm/getready/.\n\nFlorida is having a sales tax break for hurricane supplies May 21 - June 1.

Weather patterns change in cycles.  We can expect another active hurricane season this year, in eight years you'll probably see a relatively passive hurricane season.

I don't trust hurricane predictions anymore. I think they predicted 16 named storms for last year.
