	Hurricane History
		This classic Cape Verde hurricane was first detected as a tropical wave emerging from the coast of Africa on September 9.
		Isabel became a hurricane on September 7th and rapidly intensified to Category 4 hurricane strength on the evening of the 8th while the eye was located more than 1100 miles to the east of the Leeward Islands.
		Rita, the third Category 5 hurricane of the season, was a destructive and deadly hurricane that devastated portions of southeastern Texas and southwestern Louisiana and significantly impacted the Florida Keys.

	EXTENDED RANGE FORECAST OF ATLANTIC SEASONAL HURRICANE ACTIVITY FOR 2005
		We define forecast skill as the degree to which we are able to predict the variation of seasonal hurricane activity parameters from their long-term climatology.
		We attribute the heightened Atlantic major hurricane activity of 2004 season as well as the increased Atlantic major hurricane activity of the previous nine years to be a consequence of the multidecadal fluctuations in the Atlantic Ocean thermohaline circulation (THC) as we have been discussing in our Atlantic basin seasonal hurricane forecasts for several years.
		Regardless of how active the 2005 hurricane season is, a finite probability always exists that one or more hurricanes may strike along the US coastline or the Caribbean Basin and do much damage.

	Reference.com/Encyclopedia/Hurricane Audrey
		Hurricane Audrey was the first named storm, first hurricane and first major hurricane of the 1957 Atlantic hurricane season.
		Hurricane Audrey then reached its peak intensity of 145 mph (230 km/h) and an estimated pressure of (at most) 946 millibars before making landfall near the Texas/Louisiana border on June 27.
		Comparisons between Hurricane Rita of the 2005 season and Audrey are inevitable because of their similar strengths and nearly identical landfall locations with the eye again passing over Bridge City, Texas.

	Hurricanes History
		A hurricane is the name for a tropical storm that forms in the Atlantic Ocean, the Northeast Pacific Ocean east of the international dateline, or the South Pacific Ocean east of 160 degrees longitude.
		Hurricanes were responsible for the destruction of Spanish and French fleets in the 16th century, the settlement of Bermuda in the 17th century and major devastation to many colonies on the eastern coast of North America.
		The Galveston Hurricane of 1900, still the deadliest natural disaster in American history (killing between 8,000 and 12,000 people), was one of the first of many hurricanes that would ravage the Americas throughout the 20th century.

	Storm Surge
		Storm surge is simply water that is pushed toward the shore by the force of the winds swirling around the storm.
		Hugo was responsible for sixty deaths and $7 billion in damages, with a storm surge estimated at 19.8 feet at Romain Retreat, South Carolina.
		The center passed near Lake Okeechobee, causing the lake to overflow its banks and inundate the surrounding area to a depth of 6 to 9 ft. 1,836 people died in Florida, primarily due to the lake surge.

		With a weaker Atlantic Ridge, which occurs with a neutral or negative NAO, we can watch for the SST's in the Eastern Atlantic to be average, this year, as we have seen the years of active Tropical Cyclogenesis in the 1990's.

	June 2005--Rare Active Start To Hurricane Season
		For instance, Hurricane Audrey, which blossomed rapidly in the Gulf of Mexico, and became a Category Four Hurricane as it raced toward landfall in Texas and Louisiana back in 1957.
		As we enter July, the 2005 Atlantic Hurricane Season is already off to a fast start with only the 13th June on record since 1851 where there was more than one named storm.
		While a quick start to June doesn't necessarily mean a very active season the rest of the way, it definitely isn't a good omen, especially when the overall climate pattern is expected to be normal, and tropical activity is anticipated to be as active as it has been the past two seasons.

	EXTENDED RANGE FORECAST OF ATLANTIC SEASONAL HURRICANE ACTIVITY AND U.S. LANDFALL STRIKE PROBABILITY FOR 2007
		U.S. We foresee an above-average Atlantic basin tropical cyclone season in 2007.
		(10-60°N, 10-30°W) Low pressure in the North Atlantic in October-November SLP is generally related to weaker trade winds during the late fall/early winter which drives less evaporation and upwelling during the winter and spring in the tropical and subtropical Atlantic.
		There were four hurricane seasons since 1949 with characteristics most similar to what we observe in October-November 2006.

		2005 Atlantic Hurricane Season, began to be compiled in early October of 2005.
		Note – the difference between say a Hurricane Landfall and a Landfalling Hurricane, is one hurricane can have many “Hurricane Landfalls” but is still only One “Landfalling Hurricane” if it does landfall.
		In fact, Wilma is close to Category 4 status - the 5 pm Oct. 24 Hurricane Hunter flight found winds at 10,000 feet of 157 mph, which normally translates to a surface wind of 140 mph - Category 4 winds.

		Tuesday evening in Melfa, Virginia, on the Lower Eastern Shore between the Atlantic Ocean and Chesapeake Bay, the temperature was 84, the relative humidity 91%, and the dewpoint 81 degrees.
		This, of course, implies a significant seasonal wind shift, since for much of the year the region is dominated by winds off the Pacific.
		So, sometimes the early portion of the season can be an indication of what's to come and sometimes not, as it depends on how the tropical and subtropical atmosphere evolves during the climatological peak of the season -- August, September, and October -- which we're now just entering.
