This is about the last season for possibly a decade or more where a decent sized hurricane will make US landfall. We are at the tail end of a relatively weak solar maximum. Very possible that a cat 3 could make landfall. There has been some excess solar energy. Here in Texas it has almost been like living on the Florida penninisula the past couple of weeks. After this summer, activity will continue setting records for low activity.
