	National Hurricane Center - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The National Hurricane Center has its roots in an 1898 declaration by then-President William McKinley for the Weather Bureau (now the National Weather Service) to establish a hurricane warning network.

	Climate Prediction Center - Expert Assessments: Atlantic Hurricane Outlook Update
		Although the conditions that produce hurricane landfalls are well known, they are very difficult to predict at these extended ranges because they are often related to the daily weather patterns rather than the seasonal climate patterns.
		It is rare for hurricanes to develop in these regions during July because the wind patterns are normally so unfavorable.
		Hurricane seasons during 1995-2004 have averaged 13.6 tropical storms, 7.8 hurricanes, 3.8 major hurricanes, and with an average ACE index of 159% of the median.

		But Dennis, which was responsible for at least 20 deaths in the Caribbean, spared those to the north because of its relatively small size and fast pace.
