Federal forecasters today boosted their predictions for the 2008 Atlantic hurricane season.

So now NOAA is smokin' the same stuff as Dr Gray, the "Oracle of the Rockies".

What a bunch of media hype BLLST

I always understood that the hurricane season ran until mid-October. Am I wrong?

[SunSentinelSucks]

Quit mentioning William Gray!

Hurricane season is from June 1st through November 30th.

[8-Ball]

Ok... next.

[Debating]

They have no idea how many storms are coming for the rest of the season! They never do!

[Forecasts]

Who cares about these forecasts? They're never accurate and are always being revised. Bottom line is we won't know until the storms appear. Just be prepared.

[who cares]

WHO CARES!

Have there been hurricanes in Florida in November?

[Diplomate]

No category 2-5 hurricane will make Florida landfall this season.

I have learned that all these are are predictions. Forecasters can't predict the weather, that has been shown. Last Sunday called for 70% chance of rain in Broward Co all day. All I saw was clear blue sky all day. One of the nicest days we have had.

SFWMD will start lowering Lake'O immediately!

Wilma was pretty close....around Halloween in 2005, but it is very rare. The "peak" is a 6 week stretch from about the end of August through the middle of October. September is really the worst.
