Atlantic Hurricane Season 2008: Increased Activity
Well it's that time of the year again when Klotzbach and Gray from the Colorado State University come out with their annual Atlantic Tropical activity forecast. This year, they are predicting an above average probability of a major hurricane making landfall on US property. The total storms they are predicting around 15, 8 of those will mature to hurricanes and 4 will be strong to intense hurricanes. The forecast is currently calling for increased activity due to the weakened El Niño and above normal sea temperature readings. As we move three days into the Hurricane season, Arthur has already formed which is an indicator of early tropical conditions existing.
