Again? They predicted a "very active" 2006 hurricane season as well. The late El Nino showed them that predictions are JUST THAT: PREDICTIONS.
Your humble blogger predicts that we will always have "changing" weather. (I bet mine is as accurate as his.)
And another thing, what the dickens is the Tropical Meteorology Project doing at Colorado State anyway? It's not the same situation where the NOAA's National Severe Storms Laboratory is located in Norman, Oklahoma. At least Oklahoma is pretty much the central location for most things "tornadic."
Shouldn't some kind of Blizzard Center or Avalanche Warning Center or Rocky Mountain Non-Tropical Weather Center be located in Colorado instead of hurricane research? (Sorry, Vivian, I just had to get that off my chest.)
And now a word from NOAA, who is not our sponsor:
This year, NOAA celebrates 200 years of science, service, and stewardship. NSSL's contributions to Atmospheric Research play a prominent role in NOAA's legacy. At the NOAA Celebrates 200 Years web site, learn about NSSL's history of thunderstorm and tornado research, how knowledge gained from field programs and "storm chasing" helped transform Doppler radar into a powerful operational forecasting tool, and how phased array radar research will revolutionize future weather observations. NOAA cites tornado detection and warning research carried out at NSSL during the 1970's as one of its Top Ten Breakthroughs in 200 years.
