	EXTENDED RANGE FORECAST OF ATLANTIC SEASONAL HURRICANE ACTIVITY AND U.S. LANDFALL STRIKE PROBABILITY FOR 2006
		Our original early June seasonal hurricane forecast scheme was developed in the early 1990s and demonstrated significant hindcast skill for the period of 1950-1991 (Gray et al.
		Since the observed shift of Atlantic Ocean SST patterns in 1995 [and the implied increase in the strength of the Atlantic Thermohaline Circulation (THC)], our original 1 June forecast scheme (1994) has consistently under-predicted Atlantic basin hurricane activity.
		There were four hurricane seasons since 1949 with characteristics similar to what we observed in April-May and what we project for August-October.

		Beginning with the 2002 December forecast for the 2003 season, we have relied on a new early December forecast scheme (Klotzbach and Gray 2004) which does not utilize West African rainfall and gives less weight to the QBO.
		There were five hurricane seasons since 1949 with characteristics similar to what we observe in October-November 2005 and what we project for August-September 2006.
		We define forecast skill as the degree to which we are able to predict the variation of seasonal hurricane activity parameters above that specified by a long-term climatology.
