2010 Hurricane Seasons (Bonnie dissipates in the Gulf of Mexico)

[Marioguy]

Well it's that time again. Hurricane Season is coming and it's time for another topic of next season. This will be a discussion for two basins. Atlantic which starts June 1st and East Pacific which starts May 15th. While we wait, make your predictions on how many storms, hurricanes, and major hurricanes (Category 3 or higher) there will be for each basin. Predictions will close on June 1st.

I predict this season to be much more active than last year. 16 name storms with 8 hurricanes and 4 major in the Atlantic. 15 names storms, 7 hurricanes and 3 major ones in the East Pacific

kingboo: 18/9/4

I predict the Atlantic will have 18 named storms, 9 hurricanes, 4 majors.
For the East Pacific, 16 named, 8 hurricanes, and 2 majors.


JxTEdit: Four majoras, eh? Nice LoZ reference.
Kingboo: I failed horribly.

 

[Amatatomba]

I predict a giant hurricane will destroy my house, a la Hugo.

Marioguy: I need an actual prediction of the # of storms.

 

[Marioguy]

Updating that the East Pacific starts soon. There's still time to make predictions.

 

[Marioguy]

Pardon for the Double Post but the East Pacific has begun now. Predictions are still welcome till June 1st when the Atlantic starts.

 

[Vipsoccermaster]

Hmm...

I think there might be 17 storms, 8 hurricanes and 2 major. (Atlantic)
I also think there might be 15 storms, 6 hurricanes and 1 major. (East Pacific)

 

[Marioguy]

There's a disturbance in the Bahamas. Models develop it to something. Got to watch it and see.

Hurricane Highlights:

Celia may strengthen a bit more while it poses no threat to any land masses.
Tropical Depression 5-E just formed off the southeast coast of Mexico. The storm shows it might develop in a Tropical Storm.

Meantime for the Atlantic, Within the Carribbean Sea a storm can possibly develop into a Tropical Depression.
The storm will cause some heavy rainfall to Lands surrounding Haiti and Haiti itself..

 

[Marioguy]

Tropical Depression Five-E is now Tropical Storm Darby.

 

[Marioguy]

Darby is now a Hurricane and Celia is a Category 5 Hurricane wow!

 

[Vipsoccermaster]

Hurricane Celia!?!?!? Category 5? Wow, sounds dangerous...

 

[kingboo]

Hurricane Celia!?!?!? Category 5? Wow, sounds dangerous...

Poses no threat to land. Only a sailor. =P

Meantime the tropical wave in the Carribbean is still being watched. Chances are now 60% that it'll become a TD. The storm have organized more since yesterday.

We have our first depression in the Atlantic. Forecast to become Alex and possibly affecting Texas in a week.

 

[Marioguy]

Now it's Alex. It's a big storm. Most likely hit Mexico with a possible south Texas impact.

 

[Marioguy]

Alex is really exploding upon landfall. Here's a new picture of it.

[kingboo]

Celia and Darby have weaken a lot since yesterday.
Both of them are now mere Tropical Storms. They aren't going to be strong for long.

 

[Marioguy]

This just in: Alex is now a Hurricane. First June hurricane since 1995.

 

[Marioguy]

Alex has just made landfall in Northern Mexico half a hour ago.

 

[Marioguy]

A tropical Depression formed in the Atlantic but didn't become a tropical storm. Bought heavy rain to Texas and Mexico.
