 Climate Prediction Center - Atlantic Hurricane Outlook Update
An important measure of the total seasonal activity is NOAA’s ACE index, which accounts for the collective intensity and duration of Atlantic named storms and hurricanes during a given hurricane season.
As a result, it is currently not possible as part of this outlook to predict the number or intensity of landfalling hurricanes, or whether a given locality will be impacted by a hurricane this season.  It is important that residents and government officials in hurricane-vulnerable communities have a hurricane preparedness plan in place.
Hurricane seasons during 1995-2005 have averaged 15 named storms, 8.5 hurricanes, and 4 major hurricanes, with an average ACE index of 179% of the median.

 Climate Prediction Center - Atlantic Hurricane Outlook
An important measure of the total seasonal activity is NOAA’s Accumulated Cyclone Energy (ACE) index, which accounts for the collective intensity and duration of Atlantic named storms and hurricanes during a given hurricane season.
For the 2006 Atlantic hurricane season, the ACE index is expected to be in the range of 135%-205% of the median.
The combination of an active Atlantic era and suppressed convection near the date line is known to favor extremely active Atlantic hurricane seasons, as was seen last season.

Hurricane Felix, this season's 2nd hurricane, formed a couple of days ago and is near the center of the north Atlantic Ocean, but like Erin it appears to be of little concern to the eastern US.
Between 1995 and 2000, there were 41 hurricanes in the Atlantic Ocean and or Caribbean Sea and Gulf of Mexico, which is the most in any five year period since records were first kept in 1886.

Conversely, seasonal hurricane activity is typically reduced during the easterly QBO phase and large vertical wind shear conditions between 30 and 50 mb.
Despite the weak 1997 hurricane season, the annual average of NS, H, HD, IH, IHD and NTC during the last six years are 146, 163, 239, 329, 331 and 214 percent (respectively) of the average hurricane activity for the six-year period of 1989-1994.
The general warming of the North Atlantic that has taken place during the last six years is in concurrence with increased incidence of major hurricanes, an association similar to what occurred during the most active hurricane seasons of the 1930s to the 1960s.

 Forecaster expects active hurricane season - Boston.com
The Atlantic hurricane season that starts Thursday will be active, but it shouldn't be as destructive as last year's record-setting season, one of the nation's top hurricane forecasters said Wednesday.
Nine storms are expected to become hurricanes, and five of those are expected to have winds of 111 mph or greater, the forecasters said.
Gray said the Atlantic hurricane season, which runs from June through November, is likely to be active for 15 to 20 more years but another season as busy as 2004 and 2005 is statistically unlikely.

 Climate Prediction Center - Expert Assessments: Atlantic Hurricane Outlook Update
The 2002 season is not expected to be extremely active, as was observed during four of the last seven seasons (1995, 1996, 1998, 1999).
Based on the current and expected climate conditions there is a 45% probability of a near-normal Atlantic hurricane season in 2002, a 35% probability of an above-normal season, and a 20% chance of a below-normal season.
For the past several hurricane seasons the favorable decadal signal has been evident in above-normal North Atlantic sea-surface temperatures, in an overall amplified West African monsoon system, in a favorable configuration of the African easterly jet, and most importantly in reduced vertical wind shear over the heart of the hurricane development region.
