Just in! Bill Gray, shown at right, and his colleagues at Colorado State University have just updated their forecast for the 2008 hurricane season.
In early June they were forecasting 15 named storms, 8 hurricanes and 5 major (Cat 3 and above) hurricanes this season. Now their totals have swelled to 17 named storms, 9 hurricanes and 5 major storms.
Since we have only had 4 named storms so far this season, their remains the possibility of 13 more storms, 7 hurricanes and 4 major storms. Still a lot of storms to go and about two months, give or take, to get them in. Time will tell.
At the Aircraft Operations Center, all of the aircraft and crews are standing at the ready.
More later.
