Well Guys, it's that time of the year again...

Dr. Gray, (Head of The Tropical Meteorology Project at Colorado State University), is calling for a 60% net increase in the Tropical Cyclone Activity for this year over that of last year. It's still way too fresh in our memories what an ass kickin' we took in 2005...

There's already, (since early Saturday morning), a Pacific storm brewing off of Baja California.

So, this is just my first "Heads Up" post of what looks like another rocky road ahead for the next 6 or 7 months, so start focusing up!

Below is a condensed side by side comparison of Dr. Gray's hurricane predictions from last year and this.

ATLANTIC BASIN SEASONAL HURRICANE FORECAST FOR 2005 Named Storms 13 Named Storm Days 65 Hurricanes 7 Hurricane Days 35 Intense Hurricanes 3 Intense Hurricane Days 7 Net Tropical Cyclone Activity 135%

ATLANTIC BASIN SEASONAL HURRICANE FORECAST FOR 2006 Named Storms 17 Named Storm Days 85 Hurricanes 9 Hurricane Days 45 Intense Hurricanes 5 Intense Hurricane Days 13 Net Tropical Cyclone Activity 195%

Good luck to all in the strike zones and remember: Good Luck is usually more of a result of good planning and preparation...
