	EXTENDED RANGE FORECAST OF ATLANTIC SEASONAL HURRICANE ACTIVITY FOR 2006
		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.
