Hurricane season about to begin in earnest

The period from mid-August to early October typically has the most intense activity. Forecasters say 18 to 20 named storms will develop, possibly with help from La Nina.

Reporting from Orlando, Fla. —
Hurricane season might seem pretty tame so far, particularly in light of the predictions for a highly active year.

Through the first seven weeks, a hurricane and two tropical storms have emerged, about average.

But the meanest stretch — the seven weeks from mid-August through early October — is here and "now the game starts," said Stanley Goldenberg, a research meteorologist with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration.

Waters in the tropical Atlantic are heating up. The atmosphere in the deep tropics is becoming moist. Upper-level winds are easing. And more robust tropical waves are rolling off the coast of Africa.

Possibly adding fuel, La Nina, the large-scale atmospheric force that promotes storm formation, is kicking in, experts say. Eighteen to 20 named storms, including 10 to 12 hurricanes, are forecast to develop this season. Five to six are projected to be intense, with winds greater than 110 mph.

An average season sees 11 named storms, including six hurricanes, two intense.

Goldenberg said several extremely active seasons had started slow or average. For instance, in 1998, the first hurricane didn't form until late August. The season ended with 10 hurricanes, three major.

"People say in August, it sure seems quiet," said Goldenberg, who works for NOAA's Hurricane Research Division in Miami. "I say just wait, the season hasn't really gotten started."

On average, five hurricanes, including two major ones, form between mid-August and the first week of October. However, since 1995, when the Atlantic basin entered an era of heightened intensity, many seasons have seen considerably more.

In 1995, for instance, seven hurricanes, four intense, developed in that time frame. In 1998, there were eight hurricanes, two intense. And 2005 saw eight hurricanes, three intense.

The MM's may play their games, I would be happy to buy lower than .004's as this is the first year of BUGS rebirth. It's a big Hurricane play by many, they still hold important patents, they've partnered with Pacific Sands which will benefit both companies, they have proven products for water, waste and agricultural treatment along with oil and chemical cleanup processes and products. Negotiations with Canada and China are still in the works for BUGS agricultural bioremediation products and new products are in the works per the recent PR. I don't see what MM's could gain from driving PPS down other than the occasional panicked seller that wasn't holding long term anyway. MM's are probably growing flustered with the lack of sellers and are manifesting panic as much as they can.
