<P class=MsoNormal>Below is the latest predictions from Dr. Gray for the 2009
Hurricane season. Keep in mind, there will be a couple of minor updates
throughout next year leading into the 2009 Hurricane Season. As you can
see at the bottom, Dr. Gray predictions accuracy for the 2008 Hurricane Season
was either conservative or dead on the money. <o:p></o:p></P>

<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 11.5pt">Information obtained through
November 2008 indicates that the 2009 Atlantic hurricane season will be somewhat
more active than the average 1950-2000 season. We estimate that 2009 will have
about 7 hurricanes (average is 5.9), 14 named storms (average is 9.6), 70 named
storm days (average is 49.1), 30 hurricane days (average is 24.5), 3 intense
(Category 3-4-5) hurricanes (average is 2.3) and 7 intense hurricane days
(average is 5.0). The probability of U.S. major hurricane landfall is estimated
to be about 120 percent of the long-period average. We expect Atlantic basin Net
Tropical Cyclone (NTC) activity in 2009 to be about 135 percent of the long-term
average. This forecast is based on a new extended-range early December
statistical prediction scheme that utilizes 58 years of past data. The
influences of El Niņo conditions are implicit in these predictor fields, and
therefore we do not utilize a specific ENSO forecast as a predictor. We
currently do not expect to see El Niņo conditions during the 2009 Atlantic
hurricane season.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>
