August 8, 2006 - With the peak of the Atlantic hurricane season upon
us, experts from NOAA are reiterating their prediction for an
above-normal number of storms. NOAA scientists warn this year's
relatively quiet start is not an indication of what the remainder of
the season has in store.

Funny I was thinking exactly that David. A sense of false security etc. Looking
at the ensembles this morning there seems to be coming a dramatic change to more
"normal" conditions in the general circulation, at least in the Atlantic basin.
After next weekend we can expect roaring westerlies and an end to the blocked
conditions we have "enjoyed" for so long now. Of course, it is forecast data I
am looking at, but the signal is there. Watch out, normality is set to hit us
big time :-)
