Preliminary 2009 Hurricane Season Info

Several so called ‘experts’ from the State University system in Colorado are mentioning that the 2009 Tropical Storm and Hurricane Season could be a near-identical copy of 2008 or even more intense, to a degree. I’d like to see their computer projection program because that type of prediction this far out is meaninless.

Our own studies group will be running our own analysis data in early May to see the general scheme of things. We will also be posting Hurricane Preparation and personal safety information in this area as the season draws near.

This is the list of names for significant Tropical Weather Systems for 2009:

Ana
Bill
Claudette
Danny
Erika
Fred
Grace
Henri
Ida
Joaquin
Kate
Larry
Mindy
Nicholas
Odette
Peter
Rose
Sam
Teresa
Victor
Wanda

For us, fairly quiet.

More rain should move through our area this Monday but there is little risk of severe weather.

As we remain in what I personally consider a relatively “quiet” period in terms of our coastal weather, I would like to let everyone know that we are working on some changes to this site and hope to be able to provide information much more rapidly as spring approaches.
