My, how time does fly… It seems like just yesterday, we were bidding adieu to the 2008 season.
From the University of Colorado’s Tropical Meteorology Center:
“EXTENDED RANGE FORECAST OF ATLANTIC SEASONAL HURRICANE ACTIVITY AND LANDFALL STRIKE PROBABILITY FOR 2009
We foresee slightly below-average activity for the 2009 Atlantic hurricane season. We have reduced our seasonal forecast from our early April prediction. We anticipate a slightly below-average probability of United States and Caribbean major hurricane landfall.”
(as of 2 June 2009)
Colorado is a leader in this type of forecasting, and their page is full of great information: Current and archived tropical forecasts back to 1999, Landfall probabilities for the US and Caribbean, and news, FAQs and publications.
I’m officially back from vacation, and it’s good to be back. (Andy, did you miss me?)
