So one has to wonder if we have made progress in the "stopped watch being right x times a day" field if we are getting less and less accurate.
Makes me also wonder if the Hurricane Center has updated their technology...

Colorado State University makes their first predictions for next season.
Just weeks after the 2009 Atlantic hurricane season wraps up, the forecasters at Colorado State University are making their first round of predictions for the 2010 season.
Philip Klotzbach and William Gray predict 11 to 16 named storms in the forecast.
They say three to five of the storms will be major hurricanes with sustained winds of 111 mph or greater.
Gray says warm sea surface temperatures will contribute to above-average activity.
The forecast says there is a 64 percent chance of at least one major hurricane reaching the U.S. coastline.
Nine named storms developed last season.
Three became hurricanes, and none came ashore in the U.S.
The Colorado State team, which has issued forecasts for 27 years, will issue updates in April, June and August.

Wait - I thought an 'algore' was the same as a 'faux pas'.
Yoy are right, I gave them too much credit.
Science is intriguing...scientists are idiots..
*yawn* from Louisiana
LOL, isn’t this like the 4th time they have said this? Eventually they will be right!
BTW-can anyone remember 1 storm this year? Think back the last 3-4 months-can you remember even 1 reporter standing in the wind and rain yelling loud to be heard as boarded windows were in the background?
I heard they had to buy a used squeegee board for their forecasts this year.

According to the Goregasm, we should be having about 400 cat 5 hurricanes every year by now.
Yeah, they said the same about 2009.
Me thinks they have no clue.
From another article;
“Professor William Gray of Colorado State University, often described as the world’s most famous hurricane expert, warned this week that Climategate is “but the tip of a giant iceberg of a well-organized international climate-warming conspiracy.”
Today is the end of the 2010 hurricane season with no storms hitting the US. So the experts were wrong....again...five years in a row.
