A very active Atlantic hurricane season is underway, and with more storms projected, NOAA today increased the number of storms in its 2005 hurricane season outlook. NOAA expects an additional 11 to 14 tropical storms from August through November, with seven to nine becoming hurricanes, including three to five major hurricanes. In total, this season is likely to yield 18 to 21 tropical storms, with nine to 11 becoming hurricanes, including five to seven major hurricanes.

Accuweather released their updated predictions last week, i had updated this thread.

I recall at the end of last year's hurricane season I said something about the possibility of seeing a "R" named storm...looks like we're on track for that. but I am grateful for the reprieve we currently have in south florida, but things should pick up by the end of this month here.

btw...Tropical Depression 8 has a chance of becoming TS Harvey today.
